Curious thought while noodling early on a Sunday a.m. (0600). Anyone else here ever been injured while flying a helicopter? Perhaps its splitting hairs but twice now I've broken a finger getting out of them. Landed my Hiller 12E crossways on irrigation rows to wait for my loading truck and was...

Kevin's first solo made me think of my first solo in the heli back in 1997 I have been flying fix wing aircraft since 1980 and to go solo was not unknown to me. I was doing training on an Enstrom at the time and was doing quite well at the time. All the instruction was done by one instructor so...

Hi Guys, My name is Don and I'm an alco... whoops. I mean to say that I like to fly helicopters. After flying fixed wing since 1973, I made the mistake of taking a helicopter "discovery" flight last year, and now I'm hooked on landing in inaccessible places and taxiing in the air. Help me...
