    SoCal Helicopter Flight with my Grandmother

    Great question Bob! All pilots no matter what they fly are extremely talented. That being said I fell it is more difficult flying helicopters than fixed wing. In a helicopter you are using all 4 limbs at all times and controls have different aerodynamic affects in a hover than forward flight...

    SoCal Helicopter Flight with my Grandmother

    I have and compared to all the other turbine helicopters out there it's much cheaper to operate so Frank has stuck to his game plan!
