JeepinGuy13 Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 So I just got done doing my Demo Flight at a local helo-school here in olympia... it was soo much fun! my instructor was soo funny and took me to some pretty neat places! I got to take control of the R-22 and fly it around a bit! It was actualy pretty hard at first to control the cyclic but after a while I got the hang of it! then after it was over we did a quick intro on hovering which I think I did pretty good on! He said I did really good for someone who has never flown before at all soo I was pretty proud! Got my hour in the logbook for now and cant wait to go back and start taking lessons in a year or so!! I met a lot of other cool people too! ...Just thought you all should know!!! OH and Glacier Aviation is a great place thats where I took my demo flight and they have great staff and everything..So anyone else in the Olympia, Washington area looking to fly...Glacier aviation!!

K-38 Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 AH!! K-38 stole my line! Either way, welcome to it!! CHADHa Ha it's true Chad I! I liked your line so much I decided to borrow it for a post or too. It just sounds so much better than "welcome aboard". Now that you are on to my hi-jinx I will actually have to come up with something original to say to welcome newbies. Quote
FLHooker Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Ah, I'm just busting your chops. It's all good man. The saying is just so true. CHAD Quote
Goldy Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 So I just got done doing my Demo Flight at a local helo-school here in olympia... it was soo much fun! Sell your jeep now, soon you will be having garage sales weekly to maintain your flight training. Honestly, it is a lot of fun. Sometimes we just focus on getting up, checking weather, ATIS, FSS, and pre flights....we sorta forget how really cool it is. Thats why I enjoy taking first timers up for a ride, it reminds me why we all love to fly. Have fun, Goldy Quote
RkyMtnHI Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Ah, The saying is just so true. CHAD "Welcome to the addiction" that would make a great Helo T-shirt! i'll take ten!! dp Quote
