My wife and I love to travel and we’re always up for adventures. This page highlights our adventures.
My wife Rachel and I went to Dubai last month, and visited Ski Dubai, the world’s largest indoor ski hill!

Hi Matt,
Is Chopper 47 a call-sign? This is my first course in the MSPM, so I look forward to any guidance you may have. Cool photo collage!

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the message! Glad you enjoyed the photos. It is not a call-sign, I just came up with it because I liked the way it sounded and it reflected my interests and the aircraft I fly. Since the domain was available I had to snag it up. I do think however, it would make a great call-sign! Welcome to the MSPM program…I have enjoyed it so far, and hope you will too! I look forward to working together.

Hi Kevin, like you I have been fortunate to travel and even had a spell in Dubai. When I was there the ski slope had not been built and I believe it is located where my site office used to be. My brother used to work for Westland Helicopters (Lynx and Seaking) and I once asked him if he had every flown in one. “dont be stupid” he said “I build the bloody things!”

Kevin,
Great photos! I especially enjoyed the ones from the cockpit of your helicopter. I’m sure you get to enjoy some amazing views from up there.
