Helicopter pilots are nicknamed "sky cowboys" due to their adventurous nature and ability to lasso cattle from 1,000 feet in the air. See these storied tradesmen at work with this Groupon.

Blue Ridge Helicopters

Ron Carroll's fascination with helicopters began in Vietnam, when the aircraft transported him and his fellow infantry through the jungles to the front lines. Two Purple Hearts, nearly 20 years, and a stint in the publishing industry later, Carroll happened upon a copy of Flying magazine and his interest quickly rekindled. He continued with flying lessons, deepening his desire to become a helicopter pilot.

Today, Carroll possesses a Gold Seal CFI certification from the Federal Aviation Administration and helms a team of three pilots with more than 25,000 combined hours of flight experience. With a fleet comprising Robinson R22 and R44 helicopters—as well as a TruFlite H flight simulator that lets aspiring pilots practice operating a helicopter while singing and without leaving the ground—the team has trained throngs of airmen, including governor Sonny Perdue.

The Groupon Guide to: Going Unnoticed Through Life

Though some people seek fame, notoriety, and eye contact, there are many more who would just prefer to remain in the background. If you're a Background Boris, here are some tips to staying out of the eyes and hearts of others:

Childhood: At this time in life it's almost impossible to go unnoticed by your parents unless you've arranged for dozens of children who look exactly like you to live in your home. Find out where siblings come from and get some of those.
Teenage Years: Most of your time will be spent going to class, where teachers will inevitably call on you to share what your ideal version of puberty would be like. Don't worry—as long as you're always standing perfectly still in the corner of your classroom dressed like the president your school was named after, the teacher might mistake you for a statue.
Adulthood: Secure a job at a giant company and come to work every day. Sit in your cubicle quietly and make sure you're never gone for 6 straight months or your coworkers will assume you're a professional baseball player and, upon your return, will challenge you to hit thrown staples with your computer keyboard.

How can I get lost in a sea of children?
