Capt. Hollywood

Tell me you transported the helo by truck into that Sanctuary Cove HLS

Or.... is the photo not doing the HLS justice?

Victor two,

Yes we saw the odd croc at Channel Point! Caught a few fish too!





Oogle,

No truck, flew it in there. The area is bigger than it looks in the photo but not by much! Didn't just fly in of course, had a good look around from ground level first.

Awesome pics guys, keep them coming!

The only pics I have are of me n the R22. Too shamed to post that considering the qualities of the pics and the machines that's already been posted.

I do really enjoy them and sometimes I go back to browse the older pics.

Hollywood, Those scalies must have put up some fierce fight eh?

That looks familiar! Still using the yellow duct tape to supplement the environmental control system I see!

Floats with fins??

The 5ooE on fixed floats looks like an interesting helo. Are the vertical (diagonal) fins mounted on the rear of the floats to aid forward flight or when in the drink?

I assume that because there is no plate mounted on the bottom of the tail stinger that they are used to keep the TR out of the water in auto's, etc.
Anyone help?

Fascinating: it looks as if no two of the horizontal stabs have the same layout in those S-92 shots
