Way to go Michi!  Most/All pilots are as mad about aircraft as we are and
they are only too happy to share their enthusiasm. I did a similar thing
to you and it got me into a Navy Lynx helo a few months back.

Over the years, being brazen has gotten me into all sorts of places, from
ship dry-docks (awesome!) to drag-racer workshops.  I still haven't
managed Kylie's bedroom but I won't give up!!
