Now ... now - out there. I'm only old in calendar years. The spirit is still very much alive and throbbing! I've a way to go to catch up with the immortal Bob Hoover.
I did a book a few years back. Just a helicopter yarn flyers might enjoy. "Appointment on Lake Michigan" .... available from Amazon or
www.electrocution.com. Phil Croucher's business.
I am working on a 'Display Manual' where I am setting out my display manoeuves and the associated handling. Not sure where its market will be, but I'm hoping it will at least lay down some basics for future display pilots. The difficulty is that display flying is very type sensitive so I can only cover the types I have displayed. Just the Enstrom 280/280c and 480 Turbine, the Schweizer 269 series, MD 500 series and the Westland Scout.
Others out there have similar or more experience on the more sophisticated types, so perhaps my manual could be the starter page for those interested.
Best wishes to all out there and safe flying lads,
Dennis Kenyon.
