All this talk of flying planks is depressing.
If helo's are what you want then stick to it.
I am.
I have spent £23k all ready and i am back in the UK driving trucks to save for the next round of expendature (FI).
There arnt many things in life that i know for certain, but this is one :
I WILL fly helos for a living.
Sometimes even i doubt myself but it is allways there and i know that nothing else in life will even come close to flying.
Keep the dream, and you too will get there. ( hopefuly )
