Helicopter Flight Training - Montage - My initial Helicopter Flight Training - Naples FL APF

Helicopter Flight Training - Montage - My initial Flight Training - Naples, FL APF. I began my initial flight training in Naples Florida in 1999. Transitioning between the R22 and 206, the video also depicts where I gained most of my love for and interest in flying helicopters, which of course was none other than Airwolf. I would later spend time in Connecticut where I would work on my instrument/commercial flying ... flying in the snow and ice, and doing confined area ops atop snow covered mountains (or very, very big hills :) - My first flight instructor (seen in the video) was Joe Fragione of London Aviation, FL. One of the most upstanding guys and best pilots I know.

It's been YEARS since I saw this, back when you posted it on the old Airwolf.org. The music score always stuck with me, and the dissolve/overlays of The Lady's start-up from the 'Pilot' episode. :) Where is the music from please, as I'd love to have it on the iPod. Did you have to do your fixed-wing flying first, before the R22, or did you begin with rotary craft first, because it's choppers that I hope to start with, here in North East England in a few years.
