Sometimes they bring
two. They spend a couple of weeks ferrying Nicky Oppenheimer and his friends around various Highland shooting estates. They fly over my house to land in a field near a village a few miles away and I've never understood why anyone would bother taking a helicopter all the way from SA to the UK and back instead of flying in one of his jet fleet to the UK and chartering a helicopter (or two) from a UK operator. It may be that when you get to Oppenheimer's level of insanely rich you simply don't care but it still seems a weird use of service hrs.
