Heliport, I think you might be a little bit closer to the scene of the action than you imply !!!
By the way, what is she doing in the top photo? It looks likes she is texting her mother on her mobile............in 1962???

I think she is checking the pressure in the floats with a tyre pressure gauge.

Just try to get as much sand off your feet before you jump in sweetheart........Oh and by the way, it might be an idea to wipe that pearl necklace off before I drop you home.

The three female pilots we have now are Trinidadian not related to the lady in the pictures.

None of them want pictures posted due to security. Many kidnappings down here.

They are lovely ladies and wery qualified.

This is the future of Helo aviation.

CRM is different and developing.

Pray do tell more of this need for pilots...terms & conditions and maybe an idea of the life of an offshore pilot in your neck of the woods.
