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.

Flying in North Jersey... forgettaboutit!
So, we've relocated from Portland, OR to Bryn Mawr, PA and during the transition I've not been able to fly... at all... for about 2 months. Was starting to get the shakes from the lack of 100LL in my blood. Scary.
Luckily I've got a new friend out here, Jefferson, who runs HeliFlights.Net. Jefferson actually got his CFI from Jerry Trimble - same as me - so I know he's got a very high standard for his students. He is a great pilot and put aside some time to fly with me a little bit. Luckily I remembered to keep the big spinny part on top.
Nothing particularly interesting from the flying side, just a few patterns, some quick-stops and maneuvers. Just getting used to the airspace, airport and helicopter. Nothing but good.
