Welcome David!
Good luck with the car, it'll be awesome! I'm down on the Cape, 8 years in the Navy as a load on C130. Why choppers? They don't really fly,
they're so ugly the earth just repels them.
Just kidding! Where are you studying avsci? Embry-Riddle? They had a satellite campus at NAS Brunswick, always kicking myself in the butt that I didn't take advantage and get a degree in "aero-something". Have fun here, lots of great folks with lots of experience and great advice, enjoy!
