The Heliflieger.com helicopter blog
As a helicopter pilot you can experience something. Not only with oneself and the helicopter, but also in general it is always interesting what customers ask, how do flyers react and what other strange things happen in everyday life. Of course, also what other pilots say. We’ve been doing this for a while now and there’s a lot to talk about. At this point we will write some things that we think are worth communicating, knowing and entertaining. We don't want to indulge in technical terms, but rather the world of HelifliegerTo bring the - well - normal pedestrians closer. Without technical jargon, we all already have more than enough in our respective fields. Sure so far? Have fun while reading!

Clouds have a certain fascination for me because of the shapes and play of light depending on the amount of sunlight. They look even more interesting up close.
