My last helicopter flight was 30 may 2001 (Bell 412). I miss it badly. But I chose quality of life over enjoyment of flying. I’ve also been to a lot of funerals over the years for lost friends. All but 2 were in helicopters. The other two were helicopter guys flying a j3 cub in the mountains.
Like you, having flown both in the Army, I completely get that. Compared to airplanes, there ain't no real money if civilian helicopters. But i'm going to say something you already know.....I heard it from a retired AF pilot who flew F-4s in Vietnam, had a break in service, came back in and flew CH-53s, I repeat it for the Krew's edification.............."If it don't Hover, It's Queer".

A 53 was my first aircraft crash.
