I HAD MANY MANY MORE TAKE OFFS IN FIXED AND ROTARY WINGED AIRCRAFT THAN THE 119. IF I COULD ACTUALLY COME UP WITH THAT EXACT NUMBER, SUBTRACT 119 AND YOU WILL COME UP WITH THE NUMBER OF TIMES I LANDED INSIDE THOSE AIRCRAFT
119 REFERS TO THE NUMBER OF TIMES I TOOK OFF AND RELIED UPON MYSELF AND THE EQUIPMENT ON MY BACK TO MAKE MY OWN SAFE LANDING....THUS NEVER LANDING WITH THE BIRD 119 TIMES, AND NOT DEPENDING ON A PILOT FOR A LANDING
