Yes, the industry is amazing. I love flying helicopters. More than first couple wives....

Yes, I am conservative. No, I won't beat you up. I'll buy you a beer and you can teach me to shoot pool.

I don't remember your mom.

I preflight day or night, hot or cold, full gale or calm, precipitating or not, and I walk around pre-start and do a post-flight every, every time.

I read the RFM at least once a hitch and know the weight and balance stations by heart.

That's why I survived five decades of flying, I know what I know, I'm noty guessing anything. If and when I see myself shorting these things, I'll quit before I break something or kill somebody.
