From all the flying I have done nothing has come close to conducting a life saving AME or disaster relief.
Pretty rewarding stuff.
I reckon the EMS/rescue guys have the best gigs
I would have to agree. My first SAR operation was as a volunteer crewman on the 1998 Sydney to Hobart, and after watching those Pilots and Paramedics in action I was filled with respect and awe. I can't think of a more satisfying job.
Flying from war canoes must be the pinnacle of fixed-wing aviation; unfortunately not available to us these days. But then you are a very, very lucky bastard, aren't you DBTW?!
