After asking Ed what he was doing, the passenger mentioned he flies helicopters and asked if Darren had ever been in one.

They got to the airport, and Ed asked Darren if he wanted to check out his helicopters. Then, the video cut to the two guys in the air.

“You know that whole thing that your parents teach you about avoiding strangers?” Darren asked.

Viewers quickly took to the comments to share their thoughts on the video as well.

“That’s awesome! honestly, some of the best interactions ever are with complete strangers,” one user said.

Another viewer replied: “Our parents said never to get into strangers’ cars, not helicopters.”

While a third user commented: “It only seems fair. He gets in a stranger’s car, you get in a stranger’s helicopter.”
