Long time Helo-Admirer

[mastronaut]

I grew up with choppers, my father was a pilot in the 60-70's for a company

called Air General out of Hanscom Field in Mass.

My brother and I used to alternate weekends flying aboard the

blue and white Bell Jet Ranger 206.

My brother is a year older than I, he was 10.

I remember a field trip to Hanscom in third grade in which my father

flew a demo for my class. I remember his tinny voice over the tower

speaker as he narrated the pitch, yaw, and hover manuevers.

That was one of the most proud days of my life as the kids ooed a ahhed.

I've always had the desire to fly since.

 

I hope to gain much info while I'm here.

Thanks and Hi everyone! ~ mastronaut
