Newsgroup topics
Hi all, I too am sorry to see this newsgroup grind to a halt. I have
not posted in a long while so can take some of the blame! I love helicopters and enjoy reading everyones posts. I have 8 hours flying them and just love it when I do. My experience is only on vacations or work trips. I call ahead to a school and set up an hour with an instructor and have a blast. So far I have flown R22, 300CB and Turbo Enstrom. I have been forunate to fly in cities all over such as San Fransisco, Hillsbor,OR, Ft Lauderdale and Longmont, CO so far. All the instructors have been great and let me try and hover at the end of my flights. That was always fun and sometimes I actually held it for a few seconds,lol It is one thing to read about all the interaction of the flight controls, but to experience it is quite a lesson! I have asked to be shown what it feels like to enter an auto and the first time was a doozy of a feeling for sure. I live in Marion,IA and we do have a small local school here with Enstroms, but it is pricey and the scenery is not quite as exciting as elsewhere so that is why I wait for trips. I would love to get my license someday and you never know, but for now I will just get a small piece of my dream and that is really neat. I also try to get up to Oshkosh every couple of years. The local airport has a daily shuttle to Fondulac(sp) and then hop a bus to the airshow so I can spend a day up there and see everything. What a wonderfull event that is! I spend a couple of hours up at the ultralight and helicopter field and that is fun. I will post again and do enjoy everything I have read and learned in this group. Jerry |
