In fairness,I'm talking heavy-lift...not Milk Run bullschit.
Hint................. Sorry to bust your bubble Stick but a 107 isn't Heavy Lift. A CH46's Squadron designation was HMM, which stood for Helicopter Marine Medium. As in Medium Lift. A CH53D, E, and K are designated HMH. As in Helicopter Marine Heavy. As in Heavy Lift. My last float as a composite squadron pretty much all the CH46's did was Milk and Mail runs. They at that time could only carry 16 pax if I remember correctly.

Is rather ride on one one of MCH helicopters than one of Hitlerys brooms.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

I worked under a helicopter building power lines across Chickaloon flats in Alaska till it crashed killing four linermen. Pretty sure they didn't have your class of maintaince.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.
