John's ORIGINAL 1966 TV BATMAN BATCOPTER Helicopter Ride!!

OK, I gotta admit that I'm pretty proud of this post. Mainly because it's a great example of the positive synergy created by the Bat-Blog, plus it made a Batman Fan's dream come true! Now, how cool is that? Please let me try to explain, ha! We did a post the other day about the original 1960's Batcopter being at the Meadowlands Fairgrounds in NJ. Our friend BatDave had sent some really great photos & we thought it would be news worthy. Especially since the 60's Bat-Copter is so cool! Well, one Bat-Blog reader, named John, saw the post & totally freaked out! I mean, he had no idea about this thing going on & he lived close by so he could actually go! He almost jumped off the computer & ran to the car, ha ha! Long story short, he did go & he said it was an incredible day in his life. He got to fulfill a lifelong dream of riding in the actual Batcopter! Now, when he watches the Adam West / Burt Ward BATMAN movie, he can say that he has actually been inside that famous bat-vehicle. He took a lot of photos that he posted at his Flickr account. Here's a link to see them, just click HERE! Now, I hope he doesn't mind, but I stole a couple to use as an example here at the site, ha ha! The 1st one shows John sitting in the famous bat-vehicle. That smile on his face is priceless! The 2nd pic shows the inside of the cockpit where the real-life actors from the TV Show & Movie have signed it. The autographs include: Adam West ( Batman ), Burt Ward ( Robin, The Boy Wonder ) , Yvonne Craig ( Batgirl ), Julie Newmar ( TV Catwoman ), and Lee Merriwether ( Movie Catwoman ). The last photo shows John coming in for a landing. Oh yeah, here's a video he took of the Batcopter taking off, it's pretty cool to see! Thanks to everybody involved for making this happen.

60's BATMAN MOVIE BATCOPTER Live at The New Jersey State Fair!

Shown up above are some amazing photos sent in by our friend BatDave. He recently went to the New Jersey State Fair where they have the Original 1960's BATCOPTER from the Batman TV Series Movie!! He said he didn't ride it this year but he did get some great pics of this classic bat-vehicle ( As always, click on them for larger versions ). He even came across a wonderful Freak Show Banner with "The HUMAN BAT", that is a total parody of the character, AWESOME! The NJ Fair is actually still going on right now until July 5th, 2010. The cost of riding in the helicopter is $30.00. I once rode in one of these bell-copters ( not the Batman one ) and the experience is well worth the price. Seriously, it's incredible! Here's a link to the NJ Fair website, just click HERE!

Recent Photo: THE 1966 BATMAN TV SHOW BATCOPTER

Here's some freakin' sweet photos of the Original 1966 Batman TV Show & Movie BATCOPTER!! This is NOT a replica but the real deal! I got these photos from a friend named Amanda. In one pic you can see her standing next to Eugene Nock, the Owner & Pilot of the '66 Batman Helicopter. You see, after he bought the original TV & Movie Prop he totally restored it & now goes on tour visiting State Fairs & Auto/Comic Book Conventions allowing people to go for a ride. I know a few people who have done it & they all say it's a total blast! Because of the design of the copter's canopy you get an extreme view of the ground. A lot of people say it's almost like you're flying in the air like Peter Pan & not just looking out of a window. I know what they're talking about. I have not had a ride in this helicopter but one just like it ( a Bell Army one ), as a kid at the Oklahoma State Fair, many many years ago. It's a totally cool experience! I wanna thank Amanda for sharing these wonderful photos. She's very nice, I appreciate that. If there are any other Bat-Blog Readers who have taken a ride on the Famous Bat-Copter then please send us some pics & share your experience. Also, about Amanda: She is the Model from the "Superhuman Experiment" so please be sure to check it out sometime by clicking LINK!
