Here are a few shots from my flight instuctor's (and good friend) website.

The inside of EC120B over the Free State province in South Afica. I don't know if you can see it in the pic, but is indicating over 120 knots at an altitude of over 4000 feet. Not too shabby.


The EC-120 doing high site maintenance for a communications company.


He survived an engine failure in a Hughes 500 as well!!He had an engine failure during a descent, and had to make a forced landing in very rough terrain at rather high elevation. He hit a tree during the flare, and came to a standstill inverted. It is clear from the wreck that the relatively minor injuries were a miracle.


I've survived something similar in a Piper Arrow (at night), but won't bother you with pics of that, since it isn't (or should I say WASN"T) a rotorwing craft.
