I had a question regarding the pilot and his special ability. It is my understanding that he can only use his special ability once per turn, but I was curious if a Helicopter Lift card could be used after he uses the special ability meaning that he actually flies twice in his turn.

His 3 actions would be

Special ability - Shore - Helicopter lift - Shore

Basically, I'm wondering if the Helicopter Lift can be used between actions of a player.

Thanks.

I don't have the card in front of me... but doesn't the helicopter lift say that is can be used at any time and that it doesn't count as an action?

Thus... yes the Pilot can do what you described. Also, the Pilot doesn't have to be the player with the Helicopter Lift card to be the one that is using it. .. any player can use their lift card at any time for any player.

... at least that's what I remember about the card.

Dave is precisely correct. Using a Helicopter Lift card does not count as an action, so it doesn't count as using the Pilot's special ability (which applies to the movement action) when used on the Pilot's turn.
