Big 52, helicopter trip to the grand canyon

Birthday present to myself, a helicopter trip to the grand canyon, I managed to avoid the fatman tax, off $300usd, yes you get weighted before getting on, and if your over the limit, they smack, $300 more on, weird bit was I had to be weighted with my wallet, (not my phone) anyway was under, had gone 24 hours not eatting or drinking...

Managed to score the front seat, is normally a $60usd upgrade... 

Enjoy the photos 

Wine and snacks package was given at the end, as they forgot to pack on the helicopter
