Aw gee thanks for the complement on my post Whirlybird.
I hasten to add I was a 'latent helicopter pilot' for over 15 years of flying and occasionally instructing in fixed wing gliders and power planes (restricting my rotary aspirations to just radio control models) but it was a conscious decision when I was a starting out - to work in another field and save the dosh rather than struggle trying for a flying job. Its been a long road getting here but 4 weeks ago me and the bank bought a shiny refurbed Bell47 and I absolutely adore it! Things come to those that wait eh?
Funnily another hurdle appears - some people that dont know me categorize me as some I.T rich kid who just got interested and went out and bought a helicopter straight after the course! If only they knew!
..... and my car is over 12 years old
- I'd rather have my money in a machine that performs magic!
OOW
