A Big Day For Me

Howdy! One of these days I'll let you all know how I got the nickname of "Boyhowdy" which has over the years been shortened to Howdy. Well yesterday I made my solo cross country in a helicopter. I can sum it up in three words, Thunderstorms, Thunderstorms and more Thunderstorms. The shortest distance between two points was definitely not a straight line yesterday. The storms were scattered all over the Midwest and I am convinced if you had to fly anywhere that you would have to deviate. I still had a good trip and built a lot of confidence in the process. I didn't get any pictures of the event cause...Well...I was solo and you just don't let go in a helicopter like you do in an airplane. I'm so completely stoked!
