What kind of work were you doing that you got shuttled by helicopter, oil industry?
Many thanks for the link, too bad they are not operating, but maybe they will be again soon,,,

Civilian MEDEVAC. I worked full-time as a Flight Medic for 18 years. Worked in CT and NY but flew all over New England. Did missions in all the New England states except ME. Still work in the industry but now in the administrative side. Waking up at 3am on a 24hr shift to jump on a helicopter is for the young!
Saw some amazing and some terrible things. But, once in awhile we really made the difference for someone. That’s what kept you going!
