Well not really, but it felt like it sometimes. I just came back from working a forest fire and I realized how many interesting aircraft we get here. I got to see a Kamov dual rotor helicopter working on one of our fires. It is always more fun to sit in a helicopter when watching other helicopters.
Our local aircraft company also has a MI-26 helicopter leased for a year. It is capable of carrying 80-100 passengers when so configured. Mostly they are using it to move drilling rigs.
