Flew a citation jet a few times and the TBM a few. But they are too expensive to buy. I own an SR22 for when I have somewhere to go and a C-150 for when I do not. Took a few lessons in a heli, but given the fun failure modes, I only get into one now while i wear a parachute, keep my hand on the reserve handle, and only if the door is off and i can jump out to safety quickly.

I don't blame you. I personally think that helicopters are inherently dangerous. The only reason I feel comfortable is because, until I will be able to handle one myself, I am flying with instructors who I trust completely.
