Ned, as always: Thanks for the offer.
This year has been my last year as a private helicopter pilot (at least for the foreseeable future).
Due to job demands, the poor heli charter situation in my area and additional important private tasks, my available time for flying got way too few to fly as safe as I'd like to.
So I decided to add to aviation safety by not being a part of it anymore.
Hopefully, somewhere in the future, my schedules change and I get a new medical by then to enter a cockpit front seat once more.
'Cause I still look up on hearing rotor blades...Loved flying, love the community, and I do continue reading the forums once in a while
