Learnt to fly helos on the UH-34
SAS, can't say I loved it at the time, trying to wrestle the thing in order to keep the other seat happy.
Other than that, enjoyed it, a real gentleman's carriage, and ANYTHING with a radial is automatically in the GREAT category. And you did sit up there with the Gods, could eyeball a 747 driver
all most.
Chaps flying the single engine Wessex in the anti sub role were not so enamoured, lack of power and problematic SAS (not you), crewroom SOP was the last man out slash the float bags following ditching.
