Did I see someone say 'fly five hours a day'? Utterly insane.
Having one hour in helicopters and having a little money to spare, I rang a school and said 'can I have three hours in your H300 and half an hour in a JR'. 'No'. I was stunned into silence. This was the MD I was talking to. Isn't he trying to sell flying? "After the second trip you would be asleep. We'll take you up for one session, and then you can see how you feel."
I did one session in the first morning, and another in the afternoon. It was fantastic! I could hover! Weather was ideal, but hey.
On the morning of the second day, I could barely get out of bed. All the time I was thinking, "I love flying a helicopter and I'm going to do it again today", but I missed the first train and fell asleep in my seat on the one that I did catch. By the end of the second day's flying I was getting ragged.
Before that I had talked to another school about their ten-hour 'hover square' course; "yes, pay the two thousand quid into your account and fly all week". B******s.
