Having read the account by one pilot who got up in the Escravos invasion by the neighbors that resulted in the vandalizing of several helicopters.....85K runs a bit thin for my blood too. When Mobs with sticks, knives, dirks, daggers, pots, pans, and related instruments of mass destruction start running amok....and all one has for defense is the Nigerian Army and Police (both being about as useful as a Dingo Babysitter)...nope....not enough money. Touring the wonderful High Island patch in a Jetbox pays that good with a bit of workover and the worse thing that might happen is one might pick the wrong gutter to sleep in during hurricane season.
