Woohoo!
I enjoy the stunning pay, fantastic meal services and the legions of gorgeous young women throwing themselves at my feet.
At least that's what I tell myself each month when I write the check for the student loan payment
Honestly, though, the best way I could describe my love for flying helos to a potential girlfriend: the day after I learned to hover, I saw some movement on the opposite side of the practice field... and it took nothing more than a thought to sidle over to have a look, do a graceful pirouette and return to my starting point.
I never looked at fixed wing flying as being anything but boring after that.
Besides, all of my best friends are just a little nutty - they're all helo drivers. I wouldn't have it any other way.
All the best for 2010, everyone.

The hover 1 m from the ground, the SAR missions with a f.... weather, the feeling after that kind of mission, crossing the main runway to land when 5 fixed-wings are waiting a for a final, taking off from an helipad or a taxiway, avoiding 10 minutes taxiing, flying over big cities at 1000ft and..and.....
Safe fly to all and all the best for 2010..

What I like about flying helicopters
Being able to land virtually anywhere.
Low level @ 120kts.
Flying on NVG, landing in a remote field or clearing, then looking under the goggles and realising how black it is out there and considering what we have just achieved.
Pinnacle landings - try that in a fixed wing!
I have to pinch myself sometimes and think to myself, I could be in a desk job or on a production line.
Happy New Year to all

The best views in the world; to see the land from a different perspective. And if you miss something, turn round and have another look ....

The Best thing about Helicopters
Where do I start!.
- being able to hover
- Fighting a helicopter on a battlefield.
- CASEVAC
- not having to use an airport or runway
- Low flying
- Dust!
Seeing views that others would be jealous of.
Early morning lifts and watching the sunrise over the Canadian prarie
Taking people flying
The yearly Santa run to schools!
Unfortunately I have not experience the more glitzy life....maybe in a few years!
Regards
Ralph

As a private flyer, choppers provide me with the challenge and satisfaction that I don't get from my day job.
If only I were 20 years younger..
Serious flying should be fun!

What do I like?
What don't I like!
That feeling after having off loaded a full load and suddenly being light with tons of power - reassuring!
Oh and of course hovering, and more importantly reminding our FW brethren about it

Launching a darkened helo, from a darkened ship, on a no moon night, hunting with only your wit, a set of NVGs, and the balls to do 120kts at 50ft..... because we can.
