The only aircraft I haven,t flown in is a '  helicopter  ' .

Has anyone here got one to let me record ' flight in all types ' .

Any one flown a ' gyro-glider ' !.

Great fun tied to the rear of a Big Ford,  at Baggeries Creek .

I've ridden in Hueys in Vietnam and R44's here. I like choppers, the sensation of barely moving in the Huey at about 90kts and 5000', was something I didn't expect.

I have only ever flown in one helicopter  Chinook when I was in the RAAF Band.  We flew from Williamtown to  Richmond.   They opened the rear ramp in flight and I got to sit on the edge (with a safety harness of course)

That's because at 90  knots at 5000 ft in anything you feel as though you are hardly moving. You are nearly a mile up.  They were called "Crazy Palm Trees" in New Guinea. Too many things to go wrong that you need to be right. Nev
