I have always been infatuated with helicopters. In flight, a helicopter is an amazing mixture of aerodynamics, physics and... well, magic. This blog acts as a record of my experiences, learning, successes and failures along this adventure. VFR 141 Private Pilot: June 17th, 2008 VFR 61 Commercial Pilot: May 26th, 2009. CFI: February 3th, 2010. Fly Safe.
