Lift-Off
I can't believe I'm telling this.

Enstrom 28a. 1973. My TT around 75 hours. Location heli apron at Shoreham Airport in the UK. Trusty old Lycoming fired up and burbling away at idle.

Take-off checks complete and I call ATC for lift-off clearance.

Sardonic reply. "Suggest you engage rotors first!" Sadly true.
