The first helicopter was invented by Leonardo da Vinci. It did not become main stream till after the Korean War, which was the first use in a war time setting. It was all those returning pilots that pushed its use for tours, weather, traffic reports, forest fires and police use. It's a great profession Rivers!!

Not 100% true. Leonardo actually copied our guys idea for a rotary blade.

The first helicopter was theorized by DaVinci, not invented. Just to clarify. I've been a helicopter mechanic for 20 years, and have DaVincis drawing of his "helicopter" tattooed on my forearm First actual flying helicopter was a Sikorsky

So hard to believe Rivers is 8 already! I wonder if his picture is still hanging in the marina office on Carriacou! 😊

Happy Birthday, River. For your next birthday look for Crème filled Brandy Snaps. These are just yummy, they are also great for a food fight (Crème Launchers).

I really like St Maarten, thats probably because I'm Dutch. Stop feeding Rivers the is growing up so fast. You are planning to cross the Atlantic, if you do don't forget a visit to the Netherlands.

Haha, yes he is! It’s definitely starting to bother us. Lol. We’ll definitely visit the Netherlands one way or another. Looks beautiful.

Igor Sikorsky designed the first ever helicopter in 1939.
