I'm a sucker for machinery and engines, and machines don't come much more impressive than a helicopter - there is something about a lump of metal that can pick itself off the ground and just sit there
The actual industry is full of interesting and intelligent people too, from extremely diverse backgrounds, united by one passion - whingeing
Best moment so far - probably flying family members, run close by seeing what 5000 horsepower, no passengers and a third of a tank of Jet-A climbs like though
What a cool thing to do by the way Ned - kudos!
