Birdstrike
Birdstrike with a stork
EMS helicopter from Salamanca base, Spain. You can see the remains on the left of the helicopter. It just struck the top of the head of the pilot. Blood went all the way to the back of the helicopter. The helicopter dove rapidly and the medical crew in the back could not see if the blood was from the pilot or the bird. Nobody was seriously injured and the helicopter landed safely.

ToTall,
That world record heli went down in Morocco later that year. All escaped with their lives but the machine went up in flames. The locals in the area then took whatever was left of it...

I just did see this in Cape Town and thought that it was down here.
Heliskiing
It started as a joke among some Navypilots after a couple of beers during a Squadron Party, followed by some trials and hard training and ended up as a highlight on an Airshow of the German Naval Airwing 5 in the 1980s.
BTW, one of the Pilots in the Helicopter was from the British Royal Navy.
