From fire fighting, to HEMS, to law enforcement, to offshore oil & gas support, to sightseeing, to SAR....what can these machines not do? I fell into this business by accident. Studied avionics systems and planned on working a fixed-wing flight line somewhere.
Memory: 11 years old and my first ride in a helicopter was over Hoover Dam/Lake Meade. A Bell 206B and the pilot was a Vietnam veteran who flew Huey's in the war.
