On a couple of the Coast Guard helicopter flights I have used a flash with a 35mm Summicron to illuminate the dark cockpit panel and balance it with the bright light out the front windshield. It also gave me extra depth of field to have both the panel and the distant mountains looking sharp. I did warn the pilots ahead of time before the flash. Seemed like the courteous thing to do.
