A famous guy from Italy once said …
Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

and again! 
it didnt take long, almost one full year, and I am going back to air-cooled office.
my original plan was to stay like 2-3 years away from aviation. but ‘the Lord works in mysterious ways’.
but let the pictures talk.
my new future office EC135 (only after type rating oc)
and my future patch

My brain is saying this is a sim screenshot due to the aliasing and the uniformity of all those traffic cones

thx guys, yep, its EMS(H)
surely the last pic is from XP11 (getting better frames than in XP12). that EC135 is freeware.
using it while studying the POH and TM.
next month I am traveling to Germany for the ground school, simulator and type rating. looking forward to it.
definitely NVGs are going to be involved (dont know if already on the sim). never had one on my head before.

Awesome news @NEVO ! EMS helo drivers are heroes in my book. It may be a hard job, but saving people is about the most meaningful job a person can have. You’ll also rock at it, I am quite certain, being the cool-headed dude you are.

thx both of you.
its definitely good blend, flying and doing something pretty meaningful. not saying that other jobs are less meaningful. everything we do, what is also to the profit of others, is meaningful imo.
in fact I didnt want to jump right into it. I already had an interview for this job one year ago, before I took the sim job. but at that time I left the other heli job which didnt turn out really good so was little shy and also wanted to step back for a while.
but my former colleague, fortunately we were colleagues even before that bad outfit, left also and joined HEMS. and he provided good references.
so I agreed for a friendly talk, about whats new after the past year, with the HEMS FOM and it turned out as an interview. I eventually agreed to join
