Since this appears to have morphed into unusual flights/jobs, I've been more than lucky enough to have a few to share:
GCA in cr@ppy Cornish summer weather, full IMC with a torpedo on the hook underneath
Similar GCA, after 4 hours dunking, livened up when we came to the hover and followed the G/S backwards. Took a minute or two for the controller to sort that out
All the talk of coffin flights, the next step in life/death is scattering the ashes. From bitter experience, make sure that the grieving relatives leave the aircraft from the side other than that which has a greyish tinge all the way to the tail rotor.
Fun trips:
filming a tail chase at zot feet in and out of the 12 Apostles
filming a Ferrari down Latrobe street at 50 feet
trip in a Brazilian Navy Sea King down the coast from Ipanema (sp?) Beach, not above 50 feet
Boring flights out to offshore rigs in Nigeria, livened up when we found that a low fast approach on canoeists would get their attention such that as they paddled faster to get out of the way, eventually they would lean so far over that they capsised. After a week of this, eventually one bright lad worked out that if he sat still with the paddle sticking straight up, we'd avoid flying into it. On the return trip, the jungle drums were so efficient that every canoe along an 80 mile stretch of coast had got the message!!
Similar pains in Nigeria were the return loads from the rig, where every bag was filled to capacity, often tipping the weight over gross. Didn't take much sleuthing to discover that the price of fish (5 Naira/kilo) in the local market dictated the cargo load.
And lots more
