Helicopter instructions

One day, a blonde went to an airport and said that she wanted to learn to fly a helicopter. The instructor starts telling her about the schedule, first learning the rules of aviation, etc. But the blonde interrupts complaining, "I want to fly the helicopter today."

The guy figures, she'll probably get scared and chicken out anyway. So he says yes. He checks the computer, and realizes that there is only one helicopter available, a one-seater. He tells the blonde that. She says, 'SO!"

He is getting annoyed, so to get rid of her, he tells her the basics, and lets her take off with the instructions to radio in every 5 min. To his great surprise, in five min. she radios in and says, "This is GREAT! I'm at 1000 ft. and the view is awesome!!"

He then gets a similar report at 2000 ft., but at 3000 ft., to his dismay, he watches her crash about 1/2 a mile away. He runs over and pulls her out of the wreckage. "WHAT HAPPENED!" He asked. The blonde replies, "Well, everything was going great, the view was awesome, it wasn't hard to control, but the trouble started when I got cold and turned off the big fan."
