Fun? Well, I suppose it was in an adrenalin-is-coloured brown sort of way.
Years later as it happened, I became almost blasé about flying in helicopters; in Bosnia-Herzegovina I went everywhere by rotary wing - I simply had to, I couldn’t have done my job any other way, but I do consider myself very fortunate; it was nearly always a thrill. Fast forward a few more years and ditto in Iraq - I was very lucky.
As you may well know, AAC pilots include JNCOs as pilots (much I believe to the chagrin of the RAF) but very professional they are too.
