I didn't know a thing about helicopters back then but I had a dream that one day I'd be doing that job.
Many years later I'm flying, yes, but I wish I could be in St Lucia doing it.

I've just realised that the pilot who passed away, mentioned above, I believe to be the one who sparked my interest in helicopters all those years ago. Was he there in 1993?
Well, the orbit says he's been there for the last 26 years, so it appears he wasn't there in 1993
