SASless,
You really have been trawling deep to drag up a thread from 2001!
No horizon, no moon, off shore SAR, instrument auto transition down to a 50 ft radalt hover over the sea.
(Did it many times but it still gives me the shivers
)
Night air-to-air refuelling the MH-60 from a C-130, lights out on NVG, definitely wins the thrill stakes and job satisfaction prize though.
