Whose property was it before you, and whose will it be after you are dead and gone?

Multi-generation
It is going to remain in the family.

I can understand it.  Although I thought about it I still did it

When I rode with the guy in the bubble, he did one of these...

I was ready to get out way before we landed. The guy flying used to work on oil rigs too, on helos.

I wasn't expecting it, at all!

My scrotum was up in my throat and I was over it! He asked if I wanted to go again and I said nah, I wanna go home!

Much less fly one? I heard from a pilot my mom was dating when I was a kid that most pilots think they are death traps. I've heard even worse things about ospreys. Whoever did that contract work shouldn't be anywhere near another government contract.

               Yes...
    An Army Chinook, and a Blackhawk while serving at Palmerola AB (Camp Blackjack) Honduras 1985 as part of a Liaison team between the US Army in the Field, and Howard AB Panama while in the USAF... The Chinook we used to bring personnel & Supplies to some Marines at small Island off the coast, close to Nicaragua named Tiger Island ... The BlackHawk as quick transport to Tegucigalpa.. Both were outstanding craft and I felt safe in both... Year later when I got out, I flew with a buddy who was a Helicopter instructor in a Civilian Helicopter -- obviously it was much smaller and I didn't care for it all.. It felt unstable, and shook and seemed to tilt back & forth when winds would hit it..

They would call that a RTT.  Return to target on a gun run. Pretty much frowned upon except In a real situation.

Flew many times on Hueys. Wildest ride i ever had was on a C-7 Caribou. This was a two engine, short take off and landing, cargo plane. The LZ was in danger of ground fire so the pilot went a into a maneuver that went almost straight up while banking to the left. Crazy ride. Vietnam 1969.

When I was a student at NMSU, one of my friends had a Piper J-3, a tiny airplane made of sticks and canvas, and we would fly all over Southern NM, and even down to Palomas, Chihuahua.
This thing could only hold two people, the pilot and a passenger behind him.

Buzzing cattle and even wild horses was always fun.

So, as your President would say, the "buzzing" was shenanigans.  Did you use the Piper J-3 to search for Jackie?   
 
 

I have no idea who or what "Jackie" is.

I can't imagine why I would care.

The helicopter ride came at the end of training to be the landing signalman enlisted for the destroyer where I was berthed. I was not very good at being a landing signalman as my depth perception is not too great. I found the helicopter ride scary as you have the feeling the thing is going to shake apart.

I found it to be a bit rick-ee-dee... but it was sure fun!

I also had a  pilot.. in one of those military  gubmint  planes? stealth planes.
Taunt me on the highway.. I was all alone on a lonely road.. just me and the moose.
I could see his face... I waved... hi!
He was just playing.. but it was fun. buzzing me. lol
I wanted a date- but alas he was gone.   in a flash.

Looks like an MI 24 Hind D

Russian junker. SU-34 shot down yesterday. Where is the SU-57? Is India still buying Russia Junk? Russian air defense shot down their own plane and a Pantsir air defense missile destroyed it's own command van. Two drones landed on the Russian AWAC and detonated. Plane damaged but able to fly. Putin only has six of these in his entire air force. Resistance is starting in Russia.

            Well I guess luckily for Putin, Russia doesn't have a shortage of Shovels.... 
  From today's BBC https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64855760Ukraine war: Russian reservists fighting with shovels - UK defence ministryRussian reservists are likely using "shovels" for "hand-to-hand" combat in Ukraine due to a shortage of ammunition, the UK's Ministry of Defence says.In late February, reservists described being ordered to assault a Ukrainian position "armed with only 'firearms and shovels'", the ministry said in its latest intelligence update.It mentioned a shovel known as MPL-50.
