prompted by a little daydreaming about euro millions, i was wondering about helicopters. How much are they, how much for a pilot on standby, and what sort of range and speed do they have (say i wanted to visit parents who live 65 miles away, how long would it take? would there be enough fuel for a return trip?)
I looked on some American ads for pilots and they provide stuff like pet insurance. So you might need to tot up the extras. Paying for his funeral every time he crashes could work out expensive.
For the 'inside' information on anything to do with aviation just look at this site . The Professional Pilots Rumor Network.

There is a subsection 'Rotor Heads' for Helicopter pilots. I find the 'Freight dogs' section very interesting . Pilots call passengers ' SLF' ( 'Self Loading Freight' )
When the chopper hit the crane in London this site had the pilots name up within 10 mins ! while the news networks did not even know what had happened.
