Rotorheads Views From The Cockpit
Shallow approach

The helipad is hidden under the nose: it is a huge elevated pad across the road at the bottom of the photo (taken by my passenger). I guess the roof may be what you're looking at, there isn't a pad there.
Here's a different angle to show the pad: we were approaching across the park from the left:

May I ask what the devices are inboard of each Master Caution panel, in front of both pilot positions; it looks like a light but most likely not. ???
Those are small video cameras. They help greatly in engine software development tests when you're trying catch transient wierdness. We have four of these very small cameras that we can put anywhere, inside or out. Recorded to a harddisk for later viewing.

Gentlemen,
these pictures may be every day work to you guys, but what good shots! along with the short explanations they really do show the varied work that is acheived by using Helicopters.
Phil K , one of your shots show what looks like steam or smoke, what is happening in that picture?
Many regards to all of you.

Totally agree - an impressive collection of pics already. Good idea Peter. 
------------------
A few words added to your pics - if only helicopter type and location - adds to the interest.
I get regular e-mails/PMs asking me to get people to do that on the Rotorheads Around the World thread, and have had a couple about this thread.
Great pictures guys.
Keep 'em coming.

wishtobflying,
Sorry but gotto correct you on 2 of your pictures.
The AS350 belongs to Solitair Helicopters and the EC120 is one that they were looking after.
Nothing to do with Aviation Sales

I have seen a small number of Kamov and Mils in various places and lots of photos and they all had cabin and dashboard painted in a sort of pale blue-green colour.
Most western helicopters have either matt black or grey (presumably to decrease the reflected glare off surfaces).
Why the blue-green colour? Is it just that Mil and Kamov bought up big when blue -green paint was cheap?
Does it make any difference when you fly with glare etc?

Nice pictures. Do you spend much time over water without a lifejacket?
