I heard of a fellow, did well from the car-salvage business,- Went to Barton,wanting to be a heli pilot......The school turned him away, citing that he was not "pilot material" and money would not buy the required aptitude.....
he went to another school, who took hios money and he eventually got a licence. some weeks later, he hired a robinson, took his wife and flew them to survey their business empire from the air.
Some say it was carb icing.....both dead, heli a writeoff.
Sometimes you just have to accept your limitations...me, never an athlete or a singer!
