I am sure that we have all indulged in a bit of low flying at some time. But having had a scare on my very first helicopter flight (in a Bell 47 with no doors on when the pilot put in an unecessary steep banked turn without telling me) I always ask my passengers if they want anything other than a nice, gentle, scenic flight. If one of them looks nervous then I fly carefully. I have heard so many tales from people who tell me horror stories about their first (and only) helicopter flight when they were scared witless by some moron of a pilot showing off when they only took the flight to get a better view of the scenery.
