that's what people wanted to know - where did I pee?
.. and I understand that was very similar to one of King Geroge V's first questions to Lindbergh when he met him!
In a helicopter, you land, and pee.
..which is one thing that impressed me early in my rotary career. Flying in a Sioux from Ternhill in Shropshire to Valley in Anglesey against a headwind was taking forever - being overtaken by cars on the A5!

Instructor calls "I have control", lands in nearby field, gives me back control and runs behind nearest bush! Clearly I am going to feel at home in this world thought the young teetringhead..

Sorry for going off subject.
