Is it just me....or do we all prefer to fly lower as we get older? I can recall in Iran years and years ago, packing the hot beer in wet burlap sacks, then heading up to 12,000 feet agl....for a 15 minute orbiting.....and autorotating back to the camp so we could have a cold beer. Did it in both a Jetranger and Alouette III. Nowadays, I would just take a nap instead and dream of the cold beer.
