An older Bell 206 on a trailer was being delivered to the airport last weekend just as I got there. I spoke to the driver and he just said he was doing some contract work. I told him I was training, and he said his company is looking for pilots. There's a shortage, he said. Then a couple of days later I saw the exact helicopter on the news. Here's the article.

Then as I was spinning up for solo work, I radioed ground control for permission to hover taxi to a helipad. Control told me to wait one minute while a truck pulling a trailer crossed the taxiway with the same Bell helicopter on the trailer. Fun.
