Agree, helicopter flying (in my 0.5 hours T.I.F. experience) is very visual, alot like ag flying. There is no time in heli-ops to be f'ing around with charts at 100' agl.
Back to the original topic, I believe the saying: 'It's better to be on the ground wishing you up there than to be up there wishing you were on the ground' is still the best thing I have heard as a VFR pilot.
