Tiger_Moth,
Go learn to fly your namesake. It's obvious that for you nothing else will do. Sometimes you have to go with what your heart tells you.
I realise that along with everyone else I've probably said the exact opposite somewhere else, but it just dawned on me that so-called common sense doesn't come into this; this is about love. So go and learn to fly Tiger Moths. As you will anyway, no matter what anyone says. And as a helicopter pilot how can I talk about being sensible anyway
One thing though; please don't act like we're somehow inferior or incomprehensible for having other aviation loves. Everyone's different.

To fly is human, to hover, divine.
