I get excited every time I hear a helicopter, but I work right next to a hospital, so it's immediately tainted by the knowledge that someone in that helicopter is probably experiencing the worst day ot their life.

Same here. At first I hated the helicopters waking me up at weird hours, but eventually I started reminding myself every time I hear one it means someone's life is being saved. A lot easier to tolerate with that in mind.

Also sometimes if I'm playing Battlefield one will fly by at the perfect moment and take in game immersion up a notch.
