I have no idea what any of that means but I'm sure it kicks ass.
I did my first solo a couple weeks ago where my instructor and I went to an airport, he got out and I did a few circuits around to land again, and then he got back in and we headed back.
Today he let me go by myself. And thanks.^_^
Hehe, thanks. I'm currently flying a Robinson R22, black with silver stripes.

Hehe, landed and locked the controls for the pic.
In flight if there is a problem you have 1.1 seconds to put it in an autorotation before you have irrecoverable rotor RPM loss. Since the rotor RPM is the only thing keeping you up, you could imagine what would happen if they stopped spinning.
Hamster?
And yes, I WILL have an NSX someday, even if it takes 20 years.
Well I found out that it's possible to high side a Sea-Doo.
Funnily enough, I've only ridden a snowmobile twice.

Hidden gem...
Maybe the "Boys" thought you were too selfie-ish...?

I'm so jealous.
I always wanted to become a helicopter pilot until a pilot who is an aeroplane instructor talked me into taking lessons at his school for my PPL. After a few months trying to get my PPL license, I found out that I made a huge mistake. I'm not interested in planes, only helicopters. After this mistake, I never looked back and never became a helicopter pilot.

One from the archives...
This is a picture taken at a club my mate used to run in Farringdon, London. I'm right in the middle of the picture (with a green T-shirt and looking at the camera). The rest of the people are a mixture of my workmates and friends of my mate who ran the club. My best mate from Edinburgh is also in the picture, and he made the night an even more memorable one by getting so hammered that he tripped and fell onto the stage where people were dancing. One reason for this was that the club owner had screwed up my mate's booking, and in order to compensate him had told us that the beer taps in the cellar bar actually worked and that we could help ourselves to beer, provided we limited it to just my mate and one or two others... so my mate told me and my Edinburgh pal that we could drink for free all night, hence the falling about drunk later in the night.
This picture is also quite special because it also includes my mate's friend Liz (girl facing the camera on the left of the picture, with a pint glass in her hand). 18 months after this picture was taken, Liz was killed by a suicide bomber on the London Underground.
