Is it just me or does it seem like the 407 is a large helo for being a single engine.

Governments have really created a tax grabbing machine with this carbon tax nonsense and even using weather modification to back it...disrupt weather patterns to convince climate change is real

@matthaasen4 ай бұрын
That’s a tough question. I started as a pilot mechanic many years ago. That dream slowly dwindled when I didn’t find the job as glamorous as I had imagined. I then started in construction and eventually bought the company. I am fortunate to love my work and the benefits it brought me. I use the helicopter almost exclusively for my work in looking at projects, attend auctions and business development. I think first you should pick a career that you enjoy, then work your butt off at it. That’s the best advice I have. Best of luck.

Great video!! Congrats to Ms. Blair for getting back in the saddle. Could not have been without some very emotional moments. And thanks to you, Matt, for giving her the venue to fly again. I had one partial engine failure in a C172 and had to do a downwind landing.. Was a little tough to get back in the air but I did it. BZ, Ms. Blair... 😎👍
