which is why I haven't even bothered to post about how much I fucking suck at this.
possibly a close to flight test freakout, but I just don't know. again, the siren song of airplanes calls to me..."it's easy...come baaaaaaack". but I am not a quitter.
I just wish I was a better helicopter pilot. *sigh*
back on the R22 for a bit, the 206 is away working, and since I have taken so much time off healing my stupid hand (which is pretty much all better btw, at least one thing is going ok atm...LOL) I figure I need some work.
but holy hell, is that thing ever hard solo. Even my instructor thinks so...heh. so I'm not alone there.
I guess I'll just take it as a compliment that I was sent solo in it after not flying it since the beginning of Aug, and without nary a check from the instructor.
I just wish I could have all the knowledge I had about airplanes about helicopters. But alas, I have about 4940 more hours before that happens. If I ever get that far.
saw the medivac chopper today. It just made me sad because all I could think of is how I will never, ever be good enough to do that. ugh.
ok, off to attempt to think happy thoughts.
I'll have more to say later. ;) Cause I always do.

Well, pre-flight test freakouts are allowed, but I have some serious doubts to the extent of the sucking.
You seem like you're a very committed and intelligent person. I've met a few helicopter pilots, including those on the bigger machines, and I can safely say there is a fairly average bell curve when it comes to their super-human-god-like abilities.
This is the one fact that always kept my head above water when I felt like I was drowning.... if {insert-name-of-really?-He/She-is-a-pilot??!?} can do it, so can I!
I mean seriously, I've been reading along all summer, you're not going to cheat us out of a "Thank-god-its-over-I-Did-It!" post are you? I thought not!
Good luck!
Relax. You rock, and deep down you know it. You just don't want to jinx it by being overconfident, so your girl circuits are cutting in to make sure you think you suck.
And - you have cats !!!
Thanks guys.
I have emerged from my pity party, and re-entered the flying game. :D
had a great time today, so all is well. I just need to quit thinking I suck. LOL
heh, yes. Cats I do have.
