Lift job in San Jacinto, California

41 air conditioning units onto the roof of a new Walmart.

3000lbs in the air.


Time to get the water truck out....


Back on the trailer.


A delicate job getting back on the bed though.
The sides pull out and we put down boards about 2 feet wide to give a helping hand. She's tied down and ready to go home.

We can fly her home, but she is a restricted category, so *technically* we can't fly over built up areas etc.

The main reason however is for keeping the cost down for the customer. By eliminating the flight ferry time we are way cheaper than doing it with a crane. Simple economics!

Going into LAX.

Over the runway at 1500 feet, then a steep approach round the tower to the pads.

Pads marked on the picture.

Helicopter tours, Hawaii - originally posted by Gordy on another thread.


Napali coast, Kauai


Honopu beaches
To give an idea of size, the left beach is about 1000 feet long.

Question Links not working correctly
I have been having a few problems with the Photo Gallery in that sometimes up to a quarter of the images on some pages are not displaying all i get are red X's.

A red x shows until a picture is downloaded.


The time pictures take to download depends upon the speed of the site hosting it and upon the speed of your own connection.

Even with broadband, it takes a little time before all pictures are displayed. If you're using a dial-up connection it takes longer.



If the host site is down, the red x remains.

We're in the midst of some nasty bushfire work at the moment, these are from yesterday's ops trying to black out as much as possible before tomorrow's Total Fire Ban: 40C+ and strong northerlies, not looking too flash




At least the water source is nice and close
