Courtney the Helicopter pilot

Im not sure you would have reached the steps up to a Wessex cockpit Courtney !!!
Seriously - as someone who flew 3000 Hrs fast jet my greatest respect is for some of my Helicopter mates- landing a chinook into a Baghdad football stadium at night before gulf war 1 - flying me to Warton IMC in a Gazelle WTF??? The Attitude indicator never stayed still- Or being rescued by Charlie Rathbone at 2Am in the morning down the side of a Cliff near Spadeadam in his Seaking- Helo pilots you have my respect
