ive always been fascinated with the idea of flight, and as far back as I can remember, damn near every night I have incredibly vivid and lucid dreams. dreams where I would be flying! not like superman, or in an aircraft, but more of a, you think it and you go there, kind of mentality. jan. 2007. I went to Oahu, HI for 2 weeks and my dad and I took a 45 minute tour over the island in a 206III, when I got into it, I thought, I probably cant fly it, but I bet I could get it started! from then on helicopters became my drug of choice!!! one year later started flying and I havent looked back since, have my private, and need 80 hours till my commercial! So when I tell people to follow their dreams, I mean it wholeheartedly! I always wanted to fly and helicopters were the only thing that could even remotely allow to fly like I would in my dreams.

i had been out of high school for about a year and i happen to witness a car wreck and a medical helicopter landed on the highway and flew this one guy to the hospital. i really dont know why but from that day i wanted to become a pilot

on my 5th birthday, my mom got me on a heli tour in a longranger for our annual poppy festival out here. when i was walking up to get in, the pilot told me to hop up in the left seat. after that flight, i knew that was what i wanted to do. and here i am 16 years later, pursuing that dream... draining my wallet, one lesson at a time

10 minutes into Blue Thunder. It's a documentary, right? ;-) No seriously, you can stop in mid-air and not fall out of the sky. How cool is that? What other aircraft has the maneuverability, the grace to land like a feather or take off like a bat out of hell.

I got into helicopters due to a relative convincing me to have a go at a joyflight at a local field day in 2006 - hell, I have not looked back since! I would rather be flown around than have someone drive me! My favs are the Bell JetRanger 206B-III, Robinson R44 Raven II and Eurocopter EC120B Colibri - and yes, that is the R44 in my profile pic!
