Dick,
I was thinking about that thruout the 1 hr. flight. A fixed-wing guy is
usually pretty uncomfortable in a rotary wing aircraft. It just doesn't make
the right sounds at the right times.
The ability to go slow and really observe the countryside was as close to
my Cub as anything I've flown in.
