I'm sure all of you have seen many choppers make some daring
moves, but this one is spectacular. Hope you enjoy it.
This shot was taken by a trooper in Afghanistan.
Pilot is Larry Murphy, PA National Guard.

Larry is a Keystone Helicopter Corp..
EMS Pilot employee called to active duty.
I must state that this is a "unique" landing operation.
I understand that this particular military operation was
to round up suspects. We have some super reservists and
National Guard folks out there in addition to our volunteer troops.
God bless them all.

It is a great picture and it does require some skill, but I'm afraid 'daring' it isn't. Most military heli pilots practice the one wheel/skid on regularly. Some unusual LS pictures would be a good thread to continue, more please. The brave ones here are the troops on the site..... Wokkas will blow them 200 yards away!!

Pretty Picture

An interesting picture right enough but as JT........says not exactly spectacular or for most rotary types entirey out of the ordinary. Once you have some decent references a good crewman can talk a helicopter into alsorts of places wheels on off or otherwise. Still a good picture non the less and I'm sure it was a lot of fun at the time ....there is still fun to be had out there despite the best efforts of our guides and mentors.
