I am very happy about your contact by my name. It tells me that you have adopted me as a real Rotorway enthusiast. Here’s a brief note about me.
I am from Finland 58 years old male and since I was a small bastard I have always been drawing helicopters. My mind and my soul consist about helicopters.
Once when I got some money from ex Jugoslavia, I flew to San Francisco and went to Concord air field (Buchanan airport) for Helicopter Adventures. I flew some 55 hours with Schweitzer but failed on written.
I spent two months in Finland and went to Fort Lauderdale flying with R 22. My 22 years old instructor was very nervous about me and about the reputation of his school if I fail. I said; relax if I clear the written license is mine.
I have to admit that the FAA guy was a really good person but he gave me hard time. That was only because I am not a native speaker. After my check ride my T-shirt was quite wet.
That was a quick reply and I will write you and to the club pretty soon.
Best regards Veikko.
