Staying at a fishing lodge, doing some exploration work, which basically meant flying out in a helicopter in the morning, and back in the evening.
One day as we're coming back the pilot gets a message along the lines of "aircraft approaching [fishing lodge], identify yourself immediately."
We're all "well that's weird." He goes through the standard helicopter greeting "this is [call sign] out of Yellowknife, we're conducting regional exploration work in the area, and staying at the lodge."
We're advised to land, and slowly exit the helicopter. There are two burly guys waiting for us at the helipad, because apparently GHWB arrived while we were away, and the lodge managers forgot to mention the dirty geologists. I didn't get to meet him.
