Don't know about the M6.....but....I have spent hours holding over a rig to divert for fuel to return to the hold....wonderful planning and coordination by Mobil. Have enjoyed the rare thrill of passing other helicopters at very close proximity ....once even in cloud on the way to the Ninian Field....never realized the BAH pilots could get away with wearing shirtsleeves in the cockpit (but those were the early days!). Any pilot who ever flew a Bell product in hot weather knows too well about Tacho Infringements (exceedences!). You would be surprised just how many truckers work extra hours to foster up enough money to go flying......and yes...even Truckers have those that will do it for nothing just to have the experience which keeps us all broke.

If the amplifier on your CB radio draws more current than Old Sparky at San Quentin prison....then you too might be a Chicken Hauller!
