Most memorable passenger, or passengers you've carried..
On a more light hearted note, who was the most memorable passenger, or passengers you have flown. A pilot I worked with in Central Australia once flew 2 naked girls in the company's R44. He had made the comment to them the night before in the bar that naked chicks go for free. Next morning they were at the helipad. Quick call to head office which gave approval, providing pictures were taken as proof. I think the photos are still on the office wall at the Rock.

One of my most memorable passengers was King Abdullah of Jordan's bodyguard who - facing the then Prince of Jordan - puked all over him.
We landed in a field and the bodyguard got out for some air then we continued. I never did hear what happened to him when they got back home.

Took two naked ladies to Battersea Heliport once.
They started at Goodwood as nicely dressed young ladies but arrived at Battersea as naked young ladies.
Must have been my flying!
The male passengers then 'mooned' at the other helicopter's passengers before disappearing in a limo.

Most memorable...um...let me see
Of the celebrity variety I can’t decide if it was Michael Jackson or Dame Edna Everage!
Of the gutsy type it was ‘Harry the Hook’ who was based in a small town in the county of Herefordshire in the west of England and I first encountered one dark night when I picked him off the side of ‘the Jebel’ down by the border.
Of the adventurous type it must be the late Sir Wilfred Thesiger. He brought a lot of sand into the helicopter.
Of the beautiful type it was the wife of a very English stockbroker living out in one of the colonies. The most beautiful and charming creature I have ever met. Only met her once but twenty years later I am still smitten.

Bono, and Jean Reno, both very friendly.
Most memorable was the very atractive girl from a Contiki tour, who was sitting beside me in the 500 while flying a scenic over Kings Canyon in Oz. She grabbed my thigh everytime we turned. There are alot of turns on a 15 minute scenic around the Canyon...

Probably the 90 year old lady who went up for a birthday treat. She had never flown in anything before. She loved it and was not quiet for 1 second during the whole time. (She asked for my phone number when we landed.........)

My most memorable is still the grumpy plick that sat there with his arms folded and a bored look on his face for an hour and a half in an r22 then signed off on my commercial ticket. I coulda kissed him.

Flew King Abdullah of Jordan when he was Prince Abdullah back in the early 80's. Took him down the Inner German Border on a sightseeing tour before the iron curtain came down.
Also flew the musician Mike Oldfield - picked him up from a football stadium in Essen, which was one of his gig venues during a tour of Germany. He was a real gent!

A 13 year old girl from Mexico who had been dragged beneath a drunk drivers car for almost a half mile and her Father who was bringing his daughter to the hospital for specialized treatment.
Their strength of character was humbling.
