Yeah. That's if everything rolls right along. And you start out in primary learning to fly right now. Just before I got there, they switched over, the Army switched over from the TH-55, which was a little two-seater, a little bug-looking thing that it was just you and your instructor.

And when you picked up to a hover, when you pull power, the nose wants to go to the right, and you have to give it left pedal to keep it heading. And in a modern helicopter, the engines keep pace with the rotors. And back then, in this thing, you had to control the throttle at the same time, so it was an additional thing.

I got lucky in that it went away and they had just transitioned into Huey's as the primary trainer, which I won't fly anyway. So I get into this thing and they take you out to the stage field. There's Huey's all over the place, just flying around, hovering, doing her thing. And the instructor's like, all right, You know, here's what you do, right? You have the controls. I have the controls.

And then you just, you know, you go off in whatever direction. I mean, you can't hover, right? And that's the very first – it's insane because, you know, when you go to bed at night – so you have a stick buddy, right? So when – a partner, right? So when he's flying, you're in the back. And when you're flying, he's in the back, right?

So not only are you there for your flight period, but you're in the back – going up and down and left and right. And just your inner ear is getting all, you know, discombobulated, right? So at night when you went to bed, it's like being on a ship, right, for a while. And you go lay in a regular bed and you feel like you're moving, but you're not. And that's what it's like.

And then, you know, the first person in the class learns to hover. You know, he comes back and he's like, you know, I found the hover button. You know, which means you can just –

you know maintain a stationary you know three foot hover you know you don't drift in and then you know as individuals in the class learn right it takes about five hours really to learn to hover right so in each each flight period is about an hour and a half so it takes a couple of flights and you know when you're like the last guy you're feeling like what am i incompetent i can't do this maybe i'm not you know a pilot right and then you just one day you find yourself hovering you know they're like hey you have the controls i have girls
