Gained my PPL(H) 4 years ago in Robinson R44, flew 250+ hours, then went on to AS350 for 100+ hours...
Sold the AS350 last year after I lost a good friend in a heli accident. Driving to the airfield to get back in the squirrel, I just couldn't do it any more.
There are so many risks, so many accidents and so many deaths in the rotor world. I so long to jump in a heli again, its still in my blood, how do you guys keep going when you lose your friends and relations everyday in this industry?
