I can only wonder at the quality of the "school" he is learning at.
I don't think you quite understand what I was saying? I knew I was flying an R22. What I didn't know, was that there were different models out there that other schools used for training, and that "apparently" there's a rivalry between them over which is the best.
In other words, it never occurred to me to choose a school based on which model of helicopter they used.
