I'm impressed - most people wouldn't have a clue what a Bolkow is, Joe. :-)

Don't think I ever mentioned this before, but my aspiration in life is to fly helicopters. I took some lessons in Stuart, FL a few years ago but couldn't afford to keep at it. It's one of those things you have to do often when you do your training or you're just throwing your money away. At $130-$160/hr, one does not want to have to re-learn things forgotten from previous lessons, which happens when you don't fly at least a few times per week, resulting in taking lots more hours to get your rating.

I think Scott said he flies, but I never brought up my wanting to fly helicopters at the meet.
