Re.#51 I had a similar experience with a heli pilot requesting the tower to hold a flight as I flew in from a drillship. In this case the heli had to land a long way from the terminal and I had to lug my 20kg toolbag to the terminal. Ground staff had been advised and I was rushed through the terminal to discover the a/c commencing taxing from the apron. Fortunately it was an F28 and the door opened, steps deployed and I was on my way. The heli pilot was left with a large and heavy piece of drilling equipment which should have been on the same flight as myself.
