Well now....we had a pilot flying on the Texaco contract with a 355....things got a bit ugly at one of his stops....he yanks and banks...heads for the offshore rigs....upon making his approach.....sees a lot of rig workers showing a lot of attention to his landing......only to discover it wasn't his close adherence to the Cat A profile that had them interested...but the erstwhile hijacker clinging very tightly to the far side skid. Seems the 10 minute flight out of doors had cooled the perp's desire for helicopter flying. The funny part of all this was the pilot in question never suspected he had the fresh air rider. No incident report was ever filed.....seemed best no one need to hear of that....and it wasn't like the passenger in question was going to make a complaint.
