Helicopter

I doubt if that's related (though it could be; what do I know?). That was a trick which made it look as if Queen Elizabeth arrived at opening ceremonies of the summer olympics by jumping out of a helicopter.

 

Hi Which one is correct? I drive my boat every morning. I ride my boat every morning. How about a ship? Do we drive a ship or ride a ship? Thank You Moderator Note: Please see post 7 for the rephrased question.

 

Customers can only rent Special-Area on Zone A Special-Area or a regular room both are available in Zone B and C. I have a question on the usage of preposition "in" and "on" combined with the word "zone" Why the first one uses "on" when the second one uses "in"? I am more familiar with "in"...

 

The first time was in the past. It happened. So up to now it has happened twice: past events coming up to the present.

 

"He arrived on the helicopter that came in an hour ago." In the context you provided gengo I admit it doesn't sound funny because it conjures up an image of a large military size helicopter that does regular runs from A to B.

I don?t ride in helicopters often but I think I would say ?get in a helicopter.? Perhaps this is because a helicopter functions more as a private vehicle (like a taxi) rather than a public vehicle (like an airplane or train). I think along that same vein that ?get out of? would be correct though they both sound ok to me.

 

I also might wonder why you are emphasizing "in a plane". Do you normally go by helicopter? Usually it is better to use the shorter form of an expression: "I flew to New York". There is no need to say "in a plane" or "by plane". Nobody will assume you are a bird or used another form of transportation such as a helicopter a spaceship or Air ...

 

One does not drive helicopters. One flies or pilots aircraft including helicopters which can include hovering.

 

When you are in a helicopter you would be able to indicate where to go or how to fly because there are not so many people in that. I guess this would be a reason you feel "on the/a helicopter" sounds funny.
