Erin stood with Pam and most of the other women, watching their aircraft taxi to the south side of the field where they were gathered around the production vans. Their baggage was already unloaded and set in a neat row along with an interesting array of production equipment and the luggage of the crew. Someone had pointed out a commuter plane when it landed, but she didn’t think it was for them until it turned in their direction. As they and the parked helicopters were the only things on the south side, there was no refuting this was their ride. Some women complained, but most mused that if they could survive the helicopter ride they could handle something as small as a regional jet.

Ally had parked the Huey, over near the only building on their side, and she and KC looked to be battening it down to face any weather condition. Red flags hung from places she suspected were crucial, and the main rotor blades were draped in red safety covers and tied to the tail section and the ground. The smaller helicopter, the one KC was flying and flew daily for traffic reporting, sat beside the Huey. Members of the production team were busy stripping their monitors from the back cabin, and the camera once attached to the belly gimble had been detached and now sat on the tarmac waiting to be retrieved. Erin decided that meant the helicopters would not be joining them on this outing. She still wasn’t sure where they were going and was slightly relieved to hear everyone else was as geographically ignorant as her.

Standing with the group made it easy to tune out and look around. But her eyes never seemed to travel far from where Ally was working. Like the other day, Ally had pulled the top of her flight suit down and tied it around her waist. Ally was so different than Pam. Yes, she was shorter, noticeably so. Yes, she wasn’t the sharp dresser that Pam was, nor did she possess the razor-sharp mouth her boss had. But watching her work was relaxing. She was enjoying the basics and taking care in her work. Work which she assumed many pilots would view as beneath them. Ally wasn’t just doing her grunt work; she was having fun and taking care. Erin found herself thinking about going over there and helping. She wanted to be part of the fun, and she wanted to be closer to her.

“You’re staring!” Pam teased, but her tone conveyed disapproval—or was it time, in Pam’s mind, that could be better spent? “Let’s go for a little walk.”

It wasn’t a suggestion, and Erin let Pam pull her along by the elbow. “So where are we going?” Erin asked her.

“Who cares? Probably some boring old lodge out in Mosquitoville somewhere! Forget the location,” she said, leading Erin quietly away from the others. “Tell me about… you know. Tell me everything they’re saying about me.”

Erin sighed internally. Yep, Pam wanted to talk and guess what? She wanted to talk about Pam.
