Average is 225 million kliks - 140 & 5/8 million miles. It's the moon that's roughly a quarter million miles.
I can recalibrate these distances to light-seconds should you wish. I gotta nice graphing calculator here. I maybe understand 12% of it's capabilities.
Never flown in a helicopter, never will. They're unnatural, unaerodynamic, unmechanical creations.
