Do other guys always load a rotary clothes line by pegging the heaviest items nearest the mast by constant rotation of the lines? And securing all items to the line by their hard points? It just seems instinctive to me but then I started by having to move the battery from the tail boom to the cockpit before going solo at the Botany training area, in the 47 D1! (No shut-downs before leaving the controls then)
And speaking of dogs, we used to put live lobsters in the boot of a B206 and left them to walk around in there after collection from a Tassy sea tank ( just off the beach) and then flying back to Longford. Nyet problem and they sure tasted good.

Bit of a problem when your half way back to Moorabin from king Island, in a Chieftain loaded with bagged crays and one of the bags opens up!! about 15 odd crays crawling around the cabin

Not as much fun as opening a bag of (ahem) misappropriated mud crabs in the SAR Flight donga at Friday lunchtime, bunging them in a pot and enjoying crabs and beer after the Knuckleheads shut down for the weekend.
Or the smell on Monday morning when we open the donga to discover that one of the crabs had ducked under the TV table and expired and festered for a summer weekend. Eeeewww!
