Being a guy who always liked his toys( boats motor bikes etc) I took a pleasure flight with my daughter who was 13 at the time on the Isle of Arran in an R44. The pilot, Graham, took us low level and fast across a field before lifting over a hedge and climbing. On the return he showed me how manouverable it was going left to right and even backwards. When we got out my daughter said " so how long before you get one of these dad?" 12 months later I owned my own R22 , now have a 44 and still get out the heli after a flight with a big smile on my face.
