I Got to Ride in a Helicopter!

Postby future_ag_2010 » Mon Apr 16, 2007 7:59 pm

This all happened about a month ago, but I haven't had any time to put it up yet.

My dad went first, because he said that he "had the most life insurance" ;D

A quick snap of the panel. If you look at the bottom left, you can make out the football field surrounded by the track.

Do I understand correctly that you flew in a helicopter with a student?  Or you are planning to?   :o

Tell me I'm wrong...   :-?

Excellent pix, at any rate. Wish I had pix of my one very brief flight in a chopper- an old Enstrom.

Helicopters, sorry, I would have sooner taken the Vet up the runway a couple of times.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

rottydaddy: correction; I was too excited when I was flying to get all the details straight. ;D ::) He has his private pilot's license, and is working for commercial, so it's all good ;).
