Helicopter flight

Have you been on a touristy helicopter flight?

Tell me about your helicopter tourism experiences. 

My youngest son has the opportunity to go out with a helicopter crew over the Royal Gorge ... and to bring guests.

The last time I flew with him in a small plane I got airsick, despite being on dramamine. I really cant do this, right? I want to but I dont want to be sick in a helicopter.

We went on one in Hawaii. I'm claustrophobic, and I thought the small cabin would bother me, but the door was mostly glass, so it didn't seem confining. 
I didn't notice much motion, but that might have been since I was so interested in everything we were seeing that I totally didn't notice anything else.

A helicopter ride will almost certainly make you much more motion sick than a small plane, sorry.

I love flying on big planes like airliners... I'm sure I'd be fine in the KC135 my oldest flies... 

It was a four seater that made me sick (and you know, my 14 year old on the stick) and a partially obstructed view.. we found some thermals and were kind of riding them so a lot of up and down and i was unable to focus on the horizon. And my airsick bag became my friend (and the instructor took the plane and it was much better).
