This brings to mind a phrase used by the contributor known as RW-1; he refers to pilots as "rotor gods)".
I'd like to know how do I become one? Is it an hours thing? Do you have to have a certain look and demenour? Maybe Tom Cruise meets Malboro man? It would look good on cvs or application forms; Amex platinum card application form, "Occupation: rotor God", instant credit.
I wonder if there are apprentice levels? Perhaps you start as a 'rotor cherub', then progress to 'rotor Godette' to the pinnacle of achievement itself.
Anyway, I'll never be one but it's nice to see that some people seem to think they've reached those dizzy heights.
