I get to do a police ride along with air patrol which I think will be awesome.

Should I ask for a day or night patrol? I have already been on a helicopter tour of our city (Houston) in the day, so I'm thinking of going for night

Is night time cool in a helicopter?

Alright I know there are several posts on this but if anyone has any checkride tips prior to my private pilot checkride I'd love to hear them! Specifically any areas of focus for ground material as well as curve balls that might be thrown at me for the flight portion are greatly appreciated. Checkride is in 4 days.

Got lucky to see this helicopters start up procedure - what it is?! In Charleston if that helps with model type.

I am 22 with a&p just recently got both ratings I was looking forward to getting into helicopter maintenance. But Just got offered a position to do sheet metal where I get sent to school for free . In a&p school I experienced a few sheet metal classes and it seemed interesting. I guess what I’m asking is am I dumb not to take it for the sake of experience and knowledge despite wanting to do rotorcraft maintenance. Should I put a pin on it take the offer go to school and see if I’d like it then decide after sheet metal school (1 year long ) if it’s something I wanna do or something to slap on the resume when applying for rotor craft positions . stuck in a crossroad and would like to hear some advice thanks .

According to my flightradar app 3 Blackhawk’s at 541 this morning. I was taking pictures of the night sky when they showed up. Picture in the comments
