That's a little much for making a grocery run, but it would be handy if you ran out of beer.

I just want to add something that I am reminded of when seeing the helo that you have eluded to making a beer run, even though its a bit off topic. I had a family member that was stationed in England during WWII and flew B 17s. He told us that they would take the local beer up in their plane and reach higher levels so that the beer would chill before returning to Earth. I can't verify this, but it sounded reasonable

Absolutely true. I read in a issue of air & space smithsonian of WW2 fighter pilots sticking beer in the wing ammo boxes if I remember correctly, and heading to altitude to chill. They definitely deserved a few cold ones!
