Hi, Ned.

Most memorable flight was simply the first one hone with my new (err well 1965) Bell-47 G3B1 after a year or two of R44 stuff, I did the 5 hours required etc. and flew it hone - some 45 minutes flight, no GPS, Headwind, and landing in the back garden for the first time. All while fixated on the RPM gauge and forever twisting the throttle.... Hovering over the garden, it soon became a game of "if I don't land in the next hour - i will have to as we will run out of fuel....

Cheers

Kev.
