1) I was sitting in a UH-1 with the doors open as we did a 'map of the earth' return to our base in southern Honduras. The others hesitated when the pilot asked if we wanted to do it, so I chimed in and said yes! Nothing spectacular in terms of photos but it was the situation.

What's a "map of the earth" return?

Mike,

Basically, it is following the terrain of the earth with a set altitude. So that could be 400 feet above the ground and tree tops...

What a blast,

Sounds like a recipe for regurgitation.  8-)  I sometimes watch the RAf 
practicing low flying in the countrysdide around here.  400' would be 
considered as getting some height for a look around 8-)

Ever seen the film of the RNAS making a mock attack on a bunker in 
Arizona/Nevada?

Nap of the Earth (not Map btw) can be a lot of fun. Oneof my earliest memories is flying at treetop height down a river in northern BC, sitting in the front right-hand seat of my father's Bell 206 Jetranger.
