I took my first flying lesson in 1967, when I was 16. By October 1968, I had 70 hours in the air and got my pilot's license.
I realized how important it was to know something about aviation, and it was something I was interested in, so I followed my brother's footsteps and obtained my pilot's license.
I'm 100 percent sure I'm becoming a really good helicopter pilot.
And, I wouldn't consider myself to be a natural pilot; I've had to work at it.
The man who flies an airplane ... must believe in the unseen.
I've had a private pilot's license for years and flown all round the U.K. and over to France.
Why shouldn't I fly from New York to Paris? I have more than four years of aviation behind me. I've barnstormed over half of the 48 states. I've flown my mail through the worst of nights.
Flying helicopters is what I do for fun.
In my early days of flying, if you flew on instruments, you were inevitably going to fly in thunderstorms. That was just a part of the business of flying.
I got my private pilot's license in autumn 1986.
The flying? I'm not worried about it. I'm safe up there. I feel very comfortable with my abilities flying an airplane.
Yes... well, I used to have a pilot's license.
Pilots are tricky because there are so many things you have to accomplish.
