Whoa! Flying the guy's helicopter might be an expensive proposition - unless you have logged some time doing that sort of thing my guess is it will not come in for a smooth landing.

Sounds like a good topic. I like your "flight simulation" plan for the essay.

What will your focus (what your essay is "about") be? What is the angle?

My relationship to my material allowed me to think about my experience differently for each time I created the piece. The reason for this is because of the fact that when I recalled the material for my first draft, I had recalled most of the materials in a more summarized state encompasing more facts. The the revised draft, I recalled the same materials and facts but then I recalled even more about my experience. I also was able to make more clearly defined connections between the materials I recalled and I think that this made it look a little more coherent than my first draft.
