Hello Ned, here's my contribution. My twin sister invited me, as a special birthday treat, on a trip to New York. We flew to the USA and spent a week visiting the sights. The big treat on top of all that was a helicopter trip over New York. It was absolutely incredible! I have always been a big fan of helicopters and this really got me hooked! If I were younger I would have liked to learn to fly one! My husband used to fly gliders and my sister and I did too, now one of my sons flies a bus and the other is studying aerospace engineering so something has passed on, but I know, after a short trip to NZ a few years ago, that in my next life I would like to grow up in New Zealand and fly helicopters! Take care.
