Helicopter pilot



I was a helicopter pilot for about 30 secs today as Arthur kindly took me up in his beautifully homebuilt helicopter ZU-LIZ at Light Flight. Swiss-made precision, and an excellent aviator, Arthur also holds some record of 23 000ft up in a chopper! Oh, did I mention that now that winter is over, Arthur has removed the doors so that at 4000ft it's quite a view.. tried to take a photo and stretched my arm inadvertantly out the doorway and nearly had the camera swept away at 120km/h with a drop from 4000ft and some houses below.
