Apologies if a thread like this has been posted before; I’m genuinely curious.
Did a few flights in a small plane,...didn't think it was all that fun, plus it kinda bothered my stomach.
First flight in an R22, he picked it up into a two foot hover, I looked around and thought, "this is awesome!",...plus it didn't bother my stomach. Two months later I was a chopper pilot,...and the fun began!
Seventeen years later, I have never once regretted chosing helicopters over airplanes,...for recreational flying!
