First contact with the dream of flying was a puppetgame on TV

Later I saw a Bell 47 doing spraywork over wineyards - so when I was drafted by the military and they asked, if I would like to stay longer, I made a tick in the box for helicopter-pilot.
Actually I wanted to fly SeaKings but due to beeing awarded the Louis Newmark Trophy my way went Lynx.
After quitting the forces I looked, where else I would have the chance of flying helicopters again and ended up flying police helicopters :-)
