Thanks Guys
The Boss has given us $hit for that X-tube, and we are very careful now after the re-paint. The old gal is a 1996 model 407, so that's 7 years of pilot abuse showing on the X-tube.
This shot was taken when climbing off the Lake, so I'm about 200 AGL (or more!) and in a positive climb, flying with my right hand, looking forward.
I reached over with my left hand a started clicking off a lot of shots (Nikon 995 Digital), some worked, some were blurred, some were of various other scenes, Basket, skid gear, ???, this one did sort of work though.
I'd like to have some pictures of the water dropping onto a fire, but would have to hard mount a camera into the pilot's bubble window, and have a shutter release on the cyclic.
Hmmm, I see a huge Accident / Incident report over that set-up....."....pilot drops line and bucket into fire..." or worse
