have recently

visited the Rescue

Helicopter

Today we went to visit Mike the rescue helicopter. We learnt that Mike the rescue helicopter could go up to ten thousand feet high. We also learnt about how they work the main rotator blades in the cockpit. I loved when I got to go inside the rescue helicopter. Before we went out of the hanger we got a wrist band and it said I love Northland Rescue helicopter. Caleb Mills Rm 17
