Nothing beats the smell of Jet-A and a cup of coffee in the morning sunrise, and nothing is better than a cold beer after a full days work. (counting out that you get paid)

Happy New Year to all!!

Cheers

Freezing cold, miserable day yesterday. Went flying and saw the snow from another perspective, in a machine which in the cold air took off like a...magic carpet. It all looked...wonderful! Does that begin to explain it?

What I enjoy about flying helicopters

Well there was a time flying helicopter was my be all in life. This was in my early 20. Now many years after, I do still fly - and enjoy it as much as before. However other stuff has come into my life - as wife and kids, career, etc.

However, I do still love the whole process from planning a flight, making the neccessary arrangements and of course the very lift of moment. I do still get that thrill, and I yes I love it!

Happy new year!

I have been flying for 25 years now and still get up for work with a feeling of how lucky I am to do what I do. I could not imagine doing anything else but flying helicopters. Thanks to all who have helped me and made my career possible.

I did my PPL(H) about a year ago. The thrill and challenge of mastering hovering and being able to land outside my house, long way to go and lots of money before I can be paid to fly, maybe some day

When I was a child, I was fascinated by hummingbirds......

When I flew the Bolkow for 7 years, it all made sense



Look at that smile....

Flying back from the lakes over a 30 mile traffic jam on a bank holiday Monday. Bliss

[Otterotor]

Landing in a large field of Indian Paintbrush flowers in the spring.

[jetdriverbr]

Landing on a snow covered logging road when your dad says pull over I have got to pee.

[Jim Dean]

I'm presuming Trogladita's doesn't count as that's an observation!
To me the best thing is just the fascination of being airborne and the exhilaration of hovering, winching, confined areas, ship landings etc.
No day is the same.

[Rotorbee]

That was a fast thread.
All the best to all of you. Many happy landings and always remember, only the next hour counts.

[O27PMR]

Dammit! Have I missed the deadline???

Oh Well, just in case...

I love the sounds and smells associated with flying helicopters, I love transitioning to and from the hover, avoiding traffic jams and seeing the world from a better viewpoint...

I could go on of course what's not to love!?!

Happy new year everyone and safe flying!

There's nothing better than flying over sunny beaches, spotting a pretty young lady sunbathing and landing your chopper..................

[revs&checks]

There's nothing quite quite like the first lift of the day After all the theory of flight lessons, I still think it's pure magic!

The freedom to stop and look at something interesting, low level work, the precision of loadlifting & getting paid to do my hobby!

Griffo - Is that Chris B with you?

[bolkow]

There is only one thing better than landing your chopper in such circumstances,,,,,,, burying it!

[Islandcrazy]

Being able to go anywhere, mostly anytime, in the hot sunshine and enjoy being free!

[nuthin]

Its like the view in a rotating restaurant except it changes faster.

[heliclay]

the feeling of vertical takeoff is amazing. to go in any direction you desire and truly have the freedom to FLY where you want. just AMAZING
