Envy

I actually drool over this thread.
Fijdor I envy you that scenery & those landing possibilities. Is that flat top rock spire as flat as it looks? Is it ULA (unauthorised landing area) flat. Is it just me or do all chopper pilots look at a rock like that & think, "Jeez I'd like to try a landing on that"?
Smudge I envy that bright yellow thing on a stick poking out the front of your helo. Can I ask a very personal question? Are you a Dalek?
John, I notice Melbourne temps have topped Sydneys these last few days, what a hoot.
And the youngster in the Enstrom, I think I envy you the most. I recognised that faux timber grain console immediately. I went for a TIF in an Enstrom in Melbourne once. For an R22 pilot Enstrom autos are like a slow motion dream, "Throttle chop. Oh dear I suppose I should lower the collective soon, yawn."
Stunning pics all of you, congratulations.
