Fun things in a helicopter?

One of many was operating the hoist on BOs and BKs during certification tests and demos.I will never forget standing on the skids at 16,000 MSL (about 6,000 AGL) over the Rockies in December. Cold, but what a view!

Least fun in a helicopter? One of many was trying to clog an inlet seperator by flying in 1/8 mile vis in wet snow. 30 feet AGL, 30 to 40 knots, back and forth along the edge of the company parking lot for hours. "Turn left at the Ford, look out for the light pole". We never did clog it, but we had one customer who did regulalry. I always wondered what THEY were flying in!
