Hi Nick K,
I have a Commercial Rotary Wing Licence over here in New Zealand.
Heli-ski-ing is a BIG thing here!, in the Winter.
The Japanese tourists love it, you'd want to for the amount of money it costs!.
Nick, I would never use a chopper for work, but I have done 1000's of hours on Search And Rescue missions, the Av Gas paid for by the NZ Police.
I fly for free, when I do SAR work (unpaid).
