    I can officially say I've had a go at flying a helicopter - what an experience it was! Mind you, I was packin' death with the nerves.... I got to the hangar at the airport an hour earlier than I was booked in for and had a bit of time to wait!
    May the road rise up to meet you
    May the wind be always at your back
    May the sun shine warm upon your face
    And the rain fall soft upon your tracks
    And until, until we meet again
    May God hold you safely in the palm of His hand

    That looks like so much fun!

    What goes into learning how to fly a helicopter? Can just anybody do it?

    I've learnt it's not for everyone - but with a bit of encouragement, I think I'll be keeping going!

    Wow, I didn't know this was something you had been meaning to do. Like seriously meaning to do. Most people just simply want to go on a helicopter ride as a passenger lol. This is pretty cool. Awesome, huppypuppy!

    You would not believe how far I've come with helicopters - from someone who would be absolutely (insert expletive here) scared to someone who just jumps at a chance, I feel as though nothing stops me!
