Anyway, not sure if anyone knows what qualities a rotary pilot has......
Major Mark Hammond - Royal Marines seems to have what it takes - his is the last citation:

"On returning to base, four rounds were found to have hit Hammond's aircraft, one causing serious and almost catastrophic damage to a blade root. At this stage it would have been simple for him to declare that the threat was too high to return to Musa Qala. But without hesitation he decided to attempt another recovery using a new aircraft. The mission was an outstanding success under heavy fire."
