You want the mercy flights, aid flights and the most fantastic views with hands on poling at the edge of the envelope and near the ground??? Fly Helicopters!!!!

Seriously though, having seen it from both sides I have loved and hated my flying career dependant upon the personal circumstances behind it. There are always days when you wish you were somewhere else but ops and the roster says you can't. These are offset however by the glorious days when you can fly in the sun, relax a little and enjoy the ride. Planes are easy to fly and require little coaxing through the air, choppers on the other hand need fighting the whole time. You need to look at what you want and what fits your life!

Have fun
