First Flight In A Helicopter

My most memorable experience regarding helicopters was while climbing a mountain just north of Vancouver harbour while on holiday, on reaching the summit to my surprise there was an operator offering helicopter flights around the mountain range. Having never been in one before and having always had a passion for helicopters since a small boy (whirlybirds days) how could one refuse such an offer. Well as they say the rest is history. On arriving back in the UK the long arduous war of attrition started on my desire to become a helicopter pilot.

Many decades later after numerous set-backs and up hill struggles I'm still flying and still loving every minute of it as if it was that day in Vancouver, long may it live.

An early Merry Christmas to everyone.

Thanks Ned.
