When I was about 10, I flew from the top of my garage, but unfortunately it ended in a hard landing
But it must have been a good landing because I walked away!
In an airplane, C172RG, Lake Charles, La to Elmira, NY and back.
In a helicopter, (S76) Lake Charles to Portland, Ore. as a mech. in the left seat. One of the best trips of my life.
