I talked to a heli pilot on the reasoning for flying right pattern once. He explained to me that because helicopters are slower and more maneuverable they flight a right pattern (or opposite of airplanes) to avoid any congestion. I see his point but it makes for really interesting and potentially unsafe flying.
