Offshore operations - maximum flying hours

Yep my day often 10hrs precision/production longline in a 14hr duty day.....unprepared landing spots and rolling drums for fuel,in summer often 30 plus heat with every flying/biting/stinging bug you can imagine and no aircon. Living in a tent in a remote camp often in a swamp for 42 days straight. Or how about fires....low vis,hot, sweaty, multiple A/C in same airspace.In winter same same just -30 to -40. Gotta love utility work. Everyday different though!!......I'm currently living the dream swatting bugs,trying to stay cool and hydrated thinking of my crew change next week, cold beer and aircon. You offshore dudes got it easy!!!!
