I see they now provide a window for the guy pedalling the front rotor up there in the pylon.

The dude at the back door is about to turn on the pitot heat so the cold beavers and penguins can be warmed up.

Done in your best David Attenborough voice....

"With its keen sence of smell it would seem that even the Magellanic Penguin has been lured from its normal migratory track in promise of what would appear from a distance be, a school of bait fish".

Talking

Golligosh SAS !

That's two things I've ever won, and both were PPRuNe caption competitions.

OK... I've got the photo; a print from Helidays; a positive orgy of rotorcraft held annually in the UK, as some of you reprobates will know. Trouble is, my scanner just up'd and died on me.

Talk amongst yourselves while I work out how to get it up ... loaded, that is.

Dan

When the pilot finally realized that he was not flying a helicopter he decided to make a hasty exit.
