Helicopter Flying

The forecast for Toledo looked good so we got to the field about nine.  It was a little cold, you can see the marks in the frost on the table.

Not long after we got there fog started rolling in.  I put in my first flight of the day with the FW 450 helicopter.

This is how I stay warm while flying, a Little Buddy heater and bubble wrap Velcroed to the chair to break the wind.  I kind of hate to get up sometimes after a flight.  I also had on a down jacket and electrically heated vest.  The seventy one degrees in the motor home sure felt good between flights.

I ended up having five flights with helicopters and three with planes.  One other flyer showed up late in the afternoon, he really liked the FW 450 after he saw it fly.  The sun came out for the last couple of flights, I was able to take the down jacket off and turn off the vest.  We filled up on the way home and dumped the tanks so we are all set for our next session.
