There was another first in Mr. Piasecki’s career. On Oct. 20, 1943, after his arrival in Washington to demonstrate the PV-2 to the military, an inspector from the Civil Aeronautics Authority (forerunner to the Federal Aviation Administration) asked to see his commercial pilot’s license. Mr. Piasecki did not have one.
“The inspector wrote out the nation’s first helicopter license,” Mr. Connor said.lol... great story.
Mr. Piasecki. Not many of the old-school innovators left anymore.

We all have a blind date with Destiny... and it looks like she's ordered the lobster.
