If you’re at all like me, you’ve probably wondered at the giant RVs that lumber down Texas highways. Why would anyone want to bring all that with them on vacation?
As a libertarian, I wonder, but if it makes RVers happy, more power to ‘em. It’s a semi-free country after all. America land of the somewhat free.
Anyway, I saw something on Gizmodo that made me laugh and honestly makes RVers–even those rolling in the mini-mansions towing Escalades–look like wannabees.
It’s called the Hotelicopter. Some enterprising folks purchased a Soviet made Mil V-12, a hugamongous prototype for a Soviet military helicopter that’s capable of delivering the population of a captive Republic to Siberia in one trip…
This 42 meter long beast has some pretty amazing specs. Since 2004, European entrepreneur Simon Woodroffe has been having the helicopter remodeled as a luxury hotel that takes you to your destination.
The Hotelicopter has 16 cabins and, of course, two suites when you absolutely must go first class.
Cabins will have flat screen TVs, room service, Internet access, and Wiis. Of course, the Hotelicopter has a fitness center, whirlpool, sauna, and a spa and salon.

They even have a Japanese garden with a koi pond. I had a nice flight a few months back on Southwest, but I remember thinking how super it would have been if there were a koi pond in first class.

This level of service will doubtless attract a five star clientele with a sense of adventure–the same sort of folks that want to have a Lamborghini Gallardo rental fueled and waiting at DFW International when they arrive in Dallas.
Those with a desire for a land-based thrill should consider an exotic car driving experience.
The maiden voyage of the Hotelicopter won’t be until this summer. Facebook fans can friend the Hotelicopter to be kept up-to-date. Visit http://hotelicopter.com/
Visitors to DFW can check out a dream car driving experience from DFW Drive Your Dream that will put the at the controls of a Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari 360 Spyder, Audi R8, Dodge Viper and Porsche 911. Visitors to the NY/NJ metro can enjoy a dream car drive from the folks behind Vulcan Motor Club.
I may be out of step with the spirit of the times, but I applaud the entrepreneurs behing the Hotelicopter and wish them all the success in the world.
