When asked by the CFI...."What you going to do now Shag?".....I uttered those famous last words of some helicopter pilots....."Watch this!".
The grass was still wet with Dew.....and with a bit of wiggling of the cyclic we were off like a herd of Turtles until we finally gained enough speed to achieve ETL....and leave the ground..
I hope that didn't knock the ash off the end of his parked fag/cigarette but?
