From: Wandering the FIR and cyberspace often at highly unsociable times
In a previous life I worked as a search and rescue helicopter pilot at a unit also equipped with fixed wing SAR aircraft. A very experienced, ex-RAF A1 QFI there once said to me:

"You know, an aeroplane pilots's job really ends once he reaches the destination. A helicopter pilot's job is just beginning at the destination".

Very true.
