Heh, I'm just glad I wasn't paying for the helicopter, the one I was in runs about $900/hr to hire. It was a little bit scary as well, as we had the doors off and I was literally ducttaped in (Had the release on the belts taped close so they couldn't be accidently released). Thanksfully I don't get as nervous in small helos as I do in small planes (I was in a light plane crash in '88, so I get a wee bit nervous in the little prop jobs).
