we all piled into the 3 series to make our way up to Cambridge Helicopters.

Cmdr. Sheldon, whom I had met previously, was there to greet us but was not our instructor for the day.


Everyone did a one hour flight in a Robinson R22 (shown here are its fuselage aswell as two shots of james' takeoff)

other people I've talked to claim this thing is a death machine, but it seemed fine to me...

you can see the r22's characteristic t-hinged dual cyclic in eva's close-up.

I really liked flying helicopters because it seemed quite hard - I have thus decided to amend my jedi list, replacing the Light Aircraft PPL with a heli one...

the flight team...
