what a kind thing to do. I still remember my first helicopter ride. Amazing experience. Was with a retired Vietnam helicopter pilot. The landing coming in felt like a controlled crash with it landing so smooth at the last second. Was extremely fun.

Germany in the Fall of '88. The Army flew my company from Graf. to home base for Thanksgiving. They left the doors open. After weeks of rain and no Sun, the Sun shining in the doors was the most memorable part. It was like we had flown in to Summer.

I think about my 4th time on a helicopter I was on a Blackhawk in Afghanistan at like 2am flying through the blackness to get to the outpost we were going to be staying at. Those of us who were not part of the flight crew didn't have hearing protection on. Somewhere mid-flight we all heard a few random "TINK TINK TINK"s hitting the hawk and the door gunner unleashed hell on someone and just about blew all of our eardrums out. When he was done, he turns back to look at us, moves the mic away from his mouth and screams as loud as he can so we can hear him "HE DEFINITELY WONT BE SHOOTING AT ANYMORE HELICOPTERS." 1/5 stars for that Uber ride. Still have that ringing in my ears lol

Hey Matty! As a fellow Missourian, I appreciate what you do for the community. Things like this make peoples complete lives. He went back to work and had a great day! He will never forget that. As someone who is looking at getting my PPL. I would love to get any information on doing this within Missouri. Some information seems unclear and never really know if the information is correct for the area. I hear that you trained in St Charles, MO and I am going to plan my introductory flight with St Charles flying service very soon. I know its a long shot, but i would cherish the opportunity to talk with you about this. I would pay for a flight as well if possible. Thank you for everything you do!
