Brian,
5 years of carrier ops for me, the stiff wing drivers earned their pay on Non Diversion Flying but they all look the same on the end of a winch wire
Although this forum is slightly FW centric, there is little true flying around as good as most rotary jobs. Fire ops, any Navy stuff, ambulance work, filming, sling loads, Antarctic ops, SAR, the list goes on.
I certainly enjoy it more than FW, even being thrown onto the deck at night in the looker's seat
