After having a my "Near Death By Helicopter" I invited a friend out to watch and told him to stay behind me. I told him about my experience before we left his house.... I turned to talk to him and he was 150 feet back and behind a back stop.
I did finely convince him to come closer and take pictures, some are posted with my profile.
I get some kid's attention but not as much as I had years ago. I think the reason stems from being raised on video games.
When at the flying field I am the only one with the heli... Its like walking the beach and find a beautiful blond with no swim suit and no one even looks.
A lot of pilots tell me that they have no intrest in heli's at all.
