When last did you do something extreme or out-of-the-ordinary and what was it?
I did an short introductory flight in small helicopter today. Good grief, that was crazy! Pilot obviously took off and landed, but I controlled the cyclic (forward/backward/sideward control) for about 5 minutes (pilot held the collective at 1000 feet). Damn, that was scary in the beginning, because the cyclic was extremely sensitive to small inputs. After a short while however, I got the hang of it and kept it straight without swaying left and right. Then I made a nice right turn back to base. Then pilot took over for landing.
