Most of the time.
So I take it that when I get my ticket, I can't fly over, land in your
paddock and offer you a ride? :)
Never said that. Come on over.


Won't you be surprised if I do. Heh, heh, heh...

I'll reciprocate with a ride on one of Mrs.E's horses. :-)


Horses? I ain't getting on no horse - them things is dangerous.


Do you plan on using your new skills for anything besides a hobby?


Not really. It's just something that I've always wanted to do since I
was a grunt.

I used to spend time on the flight line and got to know a few of the
pilots who used to let me ride left seat/right seat occasionally on
test flights. Later on when I was really involved with the VFD, I
volunteered with Life Flight as a Paramedic four shifts a month after
I retired.

Helicopters just fascinate me for some reason - can't explain it.
