Despam Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 I had a great first helicopter flight experience on 23rd October, 2011 with Capt. Omesili. I flew with the Captain as a Co-Pilot from Accra - Takoradi (Ghana) in a Dauphin 365 aircraft. We were cruising at 120 knots, 1,100 feet above sea level. Flight time - 50 minutes. The greatest moment was when he hands off the controls and allowed me to fly the aircraft for some minutes. I flew Straight & Level, did some Right Turns maneuvering. He asked me to fly over a particular mountain. I learnt so much from this short flight. It helps increase my passion for the profession as I look for funds to commence my flight training in 2012. It was an unforgettable experience!!! Kindly share your first helicopter flight experience. Thanks. 1 Quote
Fred0311 Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 That's a great story! I was about eight years old when my father took me for a helicopter ride at an airshow in a s 300. I remember being terrified and thrilled. I got hooked young. Quote
Machinegun21 Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I had just turned 17 and my parents bought me a Discovery(Disco) Flight in an R-44 for my Birthday. Needless to say I was hooked after that Quote
