Chasing jet skiers at 50' up lower Loch Erne, and 'cos their jetskis made so much noise they didn't know we were there until we on topped!

Sneaking along the cliff side towards Belleek, pulling up for wingovers over the car park at the view point, scaring the crap out of the sightseers (and occasional hangglider )

Lisnasty HLS at night.....

Nearly being killed by the new Sqn QHI when she tried to land between the wire and the wall at Clonnaty Bridge instead of in the adjacent field..... (it went - "WHERE ARE YOU GOING? OVERSHOOT!!! No, its ok crewman, I've been here before...... oh!") Squaddies openmouthed in amazement looking on from correct HLS.

Picking up septic tank from R20 and blowing the newly installed generators over. (Huge showers of sparks, followed by "Cool! Do it again" from overhead Gazelle). Ferrying up repair teams, then being tasked to do it again the next night.
