Calling it a day

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Well, I think it’s dawned on me that I don’t want to continue on the road to Commercial Helicopter Pilot. I’ve lost the mojo for it all. I love flying helicopters, but I’ve come to realise I’ve achieved what I wanted to achieve, which is to be able to fly a helicopter. Another life experience in the bank and one I’m very grateful I’ve done. Big thanks to Steve and Scott at Northumbria Helicopters for putting up with me. It was a privilege and an honour to fly with you both. You’re very brave !!

Onwards and Upwards for me, or “Onwards and Downwards” – Skydiving is my next pursuit. :-)

Lesson booked for today is no go

Weather looked to be perfect a couple of days ago, but visibility atrocious. Can’t see across our road ! Fingers crossed for next week. Might try and get the radiotelephony practical exam done, dreading that !
