My Adventure in a Helicopter!
Last Sunday, I went in a helicopter for the first time. I went with my mother
and the pilot. My mother went in a helicopter with her father once when she was a
child and really liked it. The helicopter ride was a birthday present for me and I was
very excited. We left the house to go for the helicopter ride. It was a sunny day, but
there were a few clouds. My mother was worried about the clouds. The helicopter
pilot said the weather was OK though and so I didn’t worry.
It was amazing to be so high in the sky. I loved it. I looked out of the window
and down at the land below. It was beautiful up in the sky. The sound of the
helicopter was quite loud, but I liked it. After about half an hour, it became very
cloudy. The clouds became very dark. Then I heard the sound of
thunder and I felt very frightened. We saw lightning twice. We decided to go back
down to land. The storm got louder and louder and the rain made it
difficult to see. My mum didn’t look happy.
The pilot was very good. He got us down to the ground. We ran through the
rain into a building and drank some hot chocolate. The storm lasted for a while, but
then the sun came out. The pilot took us back up into the sky and we had a
wonderful helicopter ride. I was a very happy birthday girl!
