VH-GAS
Long before I got my chopper PPL, in fact long before I even dreamed of getting my licence I had the good fortune to fly the NSW AGL gas pipelines with Laurie McKiver in his drop dead gorgeous blue JetRanger.
VH-GAS had 5 radios, airband VHF, HF, company frequency, CB & one I can't remember. Laurie was a wireless magician. One day he asked for a clearance on VHF, let AGL know that some prawn with a backhoe was about to dig through the Sydney trunk feed, tried calling the tractor operator on CB then finally hovered in front of the digger & mustered the guy away from the pipe.
The other thing Laurie was really good at was the low slow orbit. He hated out-of-ground effect hovers and had mastered the art of inspecting valve stands at 200' in a 30 knot turn just nicely out of the dead mans curve.
Long before I knew how to fly I was learning airmanship from Laurie. We lost him one sad day in a car accident so he never knew that I finally learnt to fly.
