      My coworker who was on that flight was really anxious about it. I was pretty confident that it was just a matter of balancing the load.

      In those days I was getting to take the helicopter for a meeting with every other week, and it was always the highlight of the week. Those things are just so damned fun. They can clearly haul a lot more weight than a cab full of people.
