They all looked up and watched the helicopter turn out over the ocean and approach the house getting lower and lower. Everyone stood up to watch. The red Bell Ranger came in slow and landed on the grass just past the garden.
"What is going on?" Dawn asked.
"I believe that is our ride," I said.
The girls turned and looked at me as the helicopter cut its engine.
"What do you mean our ride?" Dawn asked.
"You all wanted to tour the island. I thought this would be the best way to see everything."
"You're kidding," Amy said.
"I hope no one is afraid of flying," I told them.
"Lieke, did you know about this?" Dawn asked.
Lieke just looked at her and smiled.
The blades on the helicopter had stopped and I saw the pilot get out. I watched as this gorgeous blonde walked from the helicopter to the garden.
"Lieke, I thought you said it was your cousin?"
"Cousin's wife, she is retired from the Army."
Lieke walked toward our beautiful pilot and hugged her.
"Everyone, this is my cousin's wife Susan."
Susan looked to be about 40, tall and very nice looking. She had on a pair of shorts and a flowered Hawaiian shirt. Lieke walked her over to meet everyone. We all said hello, Sam wanted to know how long she had been a pilot.
"Is everyone ready to go," she asked. "We have a full day ahead of us."
Everyone said they were ready and went in the house to grab their bags and our cooler. When I came back out I saw Dawn talking to Susan with a big smile. We walked out to the grass between the garden and the beach and Susan told us about the helicopter and some safety information. It was a 6 passenger Bell Ranger that was nicely upholstered inside. Dawn, Amy, Sam and I got in the back, Lieke sat upfront in the co-pilots seat even though there was room for her in the back.
"Lieke says you would like to fly around the island and see everything first. I'll fly over the volcano and then we will fly over the rain forest and the rest of the island. That should take a couple of hours and then we will stop and have lunch."
"That sounds good, how high up will we be?" I asked.
"Anywhere from a few hundred feet to 5 or 6 thousand feet or higher at the mountains. There are headphones with microphones in the back if you need them but you shouldn't, my helicopter is well insulated. My headset always me to talk to you through the speakers in the back and if you say something I can hear you. If you need anything please tell me."
"Sounds like we will have a good time then," I said.
"You all have as much fun as you want. Are we ready to go?"
Everyone said yes, Susan closed the doors. I watched as she climbed in the pilot's seat and put on her headphones and then she had Lieke put on a pair of headphones. Susan started the engines and we sat for a few minutes as she checked everything out.
"Are we ready?"
"Yes," came from Amy and Sam.
Susan throttled up and we lifted off and turned to go back out over the ocean.
"Wow!" Came from Sam.
We skimmed along the beach for several miles just a few hundred feet up.
"I wanted to take a helicopter ride but I didn't think we would get one like this!" Dawn said.
"Susan, how did you get away with landing at the house?" Amy asked.
"I am a private charter, I can get away with a lot of things the tourist flights can't," came through the speakers.
The sound inside was a little noisy but we could hear each other talk. As we flew down the beach and then headed inland Susan began to tell us about everything we were seeing. She pointed out several huge mansions and then some of the crops we were flying over as she climbed to altitude.
"We will be over the mountains in about 30 minutes, then I have a surprise for you," Susan announced.
We all peered out the windows as we flew along. Once we reached the mountains Susan flew in and among the canyons and valleys. We flew in next to some waterfalls while she turned the helicopter around so we could all see them. She went down real low and hovered over a big pool at the base of a huge water fall. I was taking plenty of pictures through a sliding window on the door.
"This is great!" Dawn said as she watched out the windows.
We flew out from the mountains and turned back in climbing as we went. We were rather high up as we approached the top of the highest point we had seen. Susan circled around for a minute and then began an approach to a small spot of grass on top of the mountain. Within a minute we were landing on top of the mountain.
As we settled Susan announced, "Everyone want to get out for a look?"
"Yes!"
"Please stay in the aircraft until I open the doors for you."
She shut the engine down and once the rotors stopped she got out and opened the doors for all of us to get out. The view was spectacular. We could see almost the entire island.
"How high up are we?" I asked.
"A little over 8,000 feet. You can get some pictures from up here that very few people have."
I got everyone together, including Susan, and made pictures with the different views in the background. The sun was hot at that altitude. Dawn pulled her shirt off revealing her naked breasts.
"James, take some pictures now, we'll never get another chance like this."
Amy and Sam were laughing as Dawn posed for me to take some pictures.
"Amy and Sam, come join me?"
They looked around at Susan and Lieke standing and watching, Lieke told them to go ahead. Sam and Amy pulled off their baggy t-shirts revealing that they had no top on under them and joined Dawn as I took some more pictures. The three of them were having a great time.
I had the three of them sit in the door of the helicopter while I took some more pictures, Susan and Lieke walked up behind me.
"They seem to be having fun," Susan said.
"You don't mind do you Susan?" I asked her.
"Hell no, please, I like people that have fun, if you all are that adventuresome, I'll have some more surprises for you."
"We may have some more surprises for you too Susan," I said.
"I doubt it," she replied.
Susan began unbuttoning her flowered shirt and when she removed it she was left wearing a very sexy and small bikini top. She had a beautiful tan and nice sized breasts that looked nice and firm. Lieke removed her t-shirt revealing one of her tiny bikini tops.
"This is the way I like to fly, keeps me cool with the sun shining in."
