I was able to get a seat in a helicopter for the Poker Run on Sacandaga Lake in NY. I took a ton of pics and some video. I still need to edit the video, but the first half of the pics are here: http://www.boatupstate.com/sacrun.html

It was unreal! I had never been in a helicopter before (eventhough my brother has been a CG pilot for about 10 years), let alone buzzing around the lake and getting within feet of boats going 100+ mpg!

Must be some hybrid boats to get that kind of millage?
How fast can the helicopter go?
I always think it's funny when you see the boats hitting the waves trying to keep a high speed. Then you see the helicopter just flying along effortless along them.
