I was talking with a guy the other day who worked in the GOM for years. He was telling me one day that a co-worker of his was on a rig in a 206B. The engine was running and he was downwind of a flare stack. When he landed it was inactive but then he realised that there was now gas coming out of it and before he could do anything the TOT went off the scale and with the sudden increase in torque the aircrat did a full 360 on the pad.
