My co-pilot and instructor - an officer in the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force (MSDF) - guided me as I lifted the copter off the ground and pointed it toward the virtual Akinada Sea. A little spin over the water, no problem, and then my instructor asked me to turn around for home. I pulled left on the stick, and pulled, and pulled.
