Holy Blenders!

Just started my commercial add-on helicopter rating this past week. Soloed in 4.4 hours, now up to about 8.5 total. I forgot how fun it is to learn something new in aviation. These things are pretty fun too! A certain edge of danger, but fun.
Already got plans to put a Sportsman leading edge on the blades, XP mods titanium skid legs, and of course some Alaskan BushSKIDS!

If you're not scarin' yourself, you're not scarin' the crowd!

I'm envious! Sounds like fun. Here is a picture of your next challenge, should you decide to accept this mission.

Been a bit slow this week due to real work and a camping trip with the kids. Went up and flew a few hours yesterday though and will be going up tomorrow to fly one flight during the day and then some at night. Following that with an hour or so Sunday morning. They are actually letting me take it out unsupervised if you can believe that sh*t!
