30 years of flying helicopters ranging from Sea Kings, through Twin Squirrels, Jet Rangers and down to the R22 and I never did a flight where I didn't have a nervous stomach before take off requiring a prudent trip or maybe 2 to the loo!!

If I'd bought shares in Andrex 3 decades ago I could have retired from flying much earlier.

Also whilst I never dream about wires I still occasionally have one about going IMC without the relevant instruments or recent skill level to come out the right way up. Was fully instrument rated in the Sea King but the dream always involves an R22 and always features a low inertia head somewhere in it.

I've a degree in psychology but I'm if I can work it out.

Really nice to wake up though and find I wasn't airborne in the first place.
