That's how Chuck Shreiber, the owner of Kansas Copters, describes the sound a helicopter makes. Pretty accurate, I thought.
Today, Travis and I took a helicopter ride over the Kansas State fairgrounds. That's the big thrill ride this year, so we decided to do a story. This was my first helicopter ride, but not my first opportunity. I'm petrified of flying and have declined all invites in the past to go flying over natural disasters for the paper.

Somehow I found the courage, though, and it was actually very fun. Beautiful day, cool view of the Fairgrounds, smooth ride. Travis shot a video that will be on Kansas.com tomorrow.
