Hello there ! Good morning to everyone. :) The title might seem a little strange.....the truth is that I wanted to make this blog a long time ago. It's time now.

Some of you may know that besides being a Doctor and playing videogames.....I like helicopters.

My father is a helicopter pilot, now retired. I used to fly with him tons of hours........when he had to go out fora 3-4 day tripI had to ask for permission in school to go with him (if possible).The last time I was lucky enough to go with him was in 1993. :( I miss those days.

This is one if the most representative pictures I have.

This is my father. I took this picture in one of the last trips we made together. This was taken back in 1993.

You're watching a Bell 412 HP. Twin Turbine State of the art Helicopter ! 8)

Lucky for me, my father gave me the manual and the training checklist. :)

I think I've read this for 100 times or over,,,,,,, :o

As today with the MS flight simulator I still can fly (almost). :D

This is a full scale reproduction of the Bell 412 cockpit. I managed to take some pictures with my camera. The start and flying procedures are almostthesame to the real thing.

This is a view of my logitech attack 3 stick. This is usedfor the cyclic, collective levers. Works pretty well.

I got this racing wheel and pedals. I managed to configure the pedals to match the ones you have to use in the flight simulator. I still want to get some flight pedals.

And finally:

I've been thinking about becoming a pilot, an air ambulance one. :o

That was it. I'm still in the process of making a video of myself using the simulator.
