Something like the last helicopter from Saigon or a modern Crimean Nightingale.
No more can be said.
Oh yeah. I can perfectly empathise with this one.

To the masses of HK Big4 paratroopers (also known as auditors), KA planes are the Jolly Green Giants who take you into "the jungle" (PRC) for a SAD mission (Search And Destroy, also known as an IPO audit, or slash and burn), then come back when you radio them (Open return ticket - we never got our return dates fixed) to take out the wounded and the living.

Love the reference to Mordor BTW http://wikitravel.org/en/Mordor
