I've been a pilot and CFI for over 46 years and still fly helicopters and airplanes (single and multi-engine land). Youngest son soloed in Piper Cub off grass strip at age 16. We're planning on purchasing a Maule this next year (?). We've been down to Moultrie and visited with Dan Maule and flew out to his place with a 180 HP 20 year old maule (tail wheel). 1000 foot strip with 60 foot pine trees on one end on a hot Georgia day and it was a piece of cake. My son did the flying. I've flown helicopters starting with the early Bell's and Hillers's, Sikorsky S-58 and S-61, Boeing Vertol 107, Westland 30, Bell 222, BK 117 and all variations of Huey's including B, C and M gunships, D and H (slicks) and the very first versions (YH-40 and A's). Also the infamous "Loach" (OH-6A). Also numerous single and multi-engine land airplanes. 20,000+ hours altogether.
