On a
slightly related note: my daughter had her 9th birthday on Sunday and one of her presents was a ride in an R22 at the school I'm attending. She had a blast and, hopefully, the experience may at least open her to the option of being a pilot herself someday (the pilot was a young female CFI so, maybe that's even more of an incentive to see someone she can identify with flying the ship).
It's funny, sometimes I feel like a heli-evangelist
Trying to convert as many as possible. . . young or old.
