Edboldie,

Don't bother looking at peoples personal sigs then?

Tell you what, with over 4000 helicopter hours in a large variety of types behind my belt, I think I can state my opinion. Whilst most helicopters are great fun to fly they are not, in general, the most graceful of beasts.

After a year on the display circuit, I once heard a comment that helicopter displays are much like masturbation, great fun to do but a bit dull to watch. I will however take my hat off the the RAF Chinook display pilot who was marvelously entertaining.

As to helicopter pilots being special, I'm afraid that's definitely not true. A slightly different skill set maybe, special nope.

My comment was tongue in cheek, yours however seems to be a bit of a personal attack. Come back when you have sufficient heavy helo experience and then comment again. Until then don't thread creep.

Again, good luck with the exams, the BGS online exam repository is an excellent source of information and well worth the fee. ( sorry don't mean to advertise!)
