What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I plan to complete my helicopter rating and perhaps become an instructor in helicopters. Also, I have been pursuing opportunities to fly airships (blimps).

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: To fly coordinated, you need right rudder when your nose is high - but did you know that you need LEFT rudder during a descent?

What do you like about this subject? The freedom of flying, the beauty of the earth from above, the adventure of learning to fly, and the challenge of and making every flight as safe as possible.
