A short YouTube monologue by a helicopter saw pilot (uploaded by Kenny Keller) where the speaker expresses enjoyment of the job largely because of long-term personal relationships with crews and landowners, recounts his father's advice about doing good work, and enthusiastically describes flying without doors in good weather while noting practical uses of the bubble door in winter.
I absolutely enjoy this world. What I enjoy the most is meeting the same repeat people that I worked with five years ago. The same crews, the same landowners. I've met so many friends in this world, and that right there means more to me than flying the helicopter. I could go east side of the state to the west side of the state, north to south, and there's somebody in the area that knows me. And my dad always said, you know, son, you do good work and people will remember you. And still this day, I'll do the best I can. I don't think. Jared, do you think we do? I got everything in there. I think that probably would be a good idea. Yeah, let's do that real quick. Cool thing about our doors. We can pull them off. Pull them off. And since I'm ferrying back to the airport to stick this in the hangar, there ain't no reason to have the bubble door on. This bubble door saves us. I mean, it just helps us out. Major in the winter, I mean, we can work all day long, but in the summers, when it's beautiful out, we have no doors on. And you talk about heaven. That's where I love. No doors. Beautiful weather, sun. I love doors off. Shorts, T shirts. You can fly and fly and fly. You got to put the doors back on. Yeah, I know. I love doors off. It's. It's. It.
