I will never forget the moment I fell in love with helicopters. It was in August, 1982 and I was about 4 months pregnant when my ex and I took my ex-sister in law back up to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. I remember we were admitted at the gate and then all of a sudden there were probably about 100 Chinooks on the tarmac! Their image against the sky was breath-taking!! I remember watching them until I couldn't see them anymore (meanwhile, the ex- was jealous because he thought i was looking at another guy, of course! He could not believe it was about the helicopters. He was such an idiot!... probably still is...). I was hypnotized by their magnificent forms against the afternoon sky, looking majestic and ready for battle!
BTW: Semper FI !!

I feel about Blimps the way you feel about helicopters. Also have a fascination with Ercoupes, little two place monoplanes built in the forties. I used to own one and fly it regularly. Can pass an airport without stopping to see if any Ercoupes are parked there.
