Default Scared of mid-airs

Frode
What is a double bass player? Interesting in that I played cello and
string bass professionally for years. I was with a symphony many years
ago (50's) playing cello and was doing jazz licks when the conductor
told me that was not professional. So, I began playing string bass and
had a lot of fun while making money. Amazing how many pilots are also
musicians and that is something I've commented on many times over the
years.
Did you ever have a near miss with a drummer? ggg
BTW....early last year I hit a pine tree while crop spraying in Oregon.
It damaged the boom and one rotor blade. I didn't know about the blade
until I shut down and we saw the damage. Unfortunately that grounded
the helicopter until new blades were put on. One of those deals where
you had to have been there? Like I said, close to you, may be two miles
to me. Again, experience and exposure.
Cheers
