helicodger pilot Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I haven't seen this mentioned before (unless I somehow missed it) and it may interest some of you...AOPA online has a new blog called "Hover Power" by Tim McAdams. Only 3 posts so far, but Tim is an interesting writer and I expect it will grow as time goes on. The first couple of posts seem to be written to give FW pilots a little insight into the RW world, but his next entry gets a bit more focused on stuff of interest to real (i.e. helicopter) pilots. Anyway, I was glad to see AOPA adding some more content about the helicopter world even though we are such a small percentage of the pilot population.AOPA is an excellent organization with lots of member resources and GA advocacy activities, and if you're not already a member, I highly recommend you join ASAP. The online flight planner alone is worth the $39 annual dues if you do much XC flying. Quote
Justin DBC Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 It would be nice to see them add some more rotory wing content. I don't even really read their magazine anymore because it usually has so little to do with anything I'm interested in right now. J- Quote
ADRidge Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Yeah, I'm a member of AOPA more out of obligation than enthusiasm. It's good to see a few RW articles every once in a while from them. Especially ones written BY helicopter pilots. Good times. Quote
rodrop Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I have read the articles...he is a good writer. I think this is a good thing. Another good thing is that the new president (Craig Fuller?) of AOPA made a comment about wanting to be a heli pilot too..Positive feedback about these articles would be a good thing. Quote
