With the festive season approaching rapidly, a choice of helicopters in the snow: or ice, really! A couple of my photos from last month down in Antarctica, you have a Christmas present to choose between the two :ok:
The helicopter is an AS350B2 with a Soloy modification to install an LTS101-700 engine. Owned by Helicopter Resources of Tyabb Airfield, Victoria and operated by HeliSolutions, the Squirrel is modified for Antarctic operations and is currently back into Antarctica supporting the Japanese.

As always, for Windows users click on the thumbnail to open a higher resolution full picture, and then right click to select “Set as Background”. Mac users should select the background via System Preferences.
