That's the best I can do for chicks & choppers - unfortunately they're mostly covered up with Nomex!

Here's my approach into Puebla (MMPB) a few weeks ago on my friend's 421 ...

... and believe it or not guess who's there?

Thanks Blender!

This is a shot of the Seminole County Sheriff's Office Alert 1 lifting off. We have 2 OH-58s we use for law enforcement missions, and a UH-1 we use for EMS/Fire supression missions. I hope to get some pictures of the UH-1 in here shortly.

This is another picture of Alert 1 flying by NASA's vehicle assembly building in a neighboring county.

This is Orange Couny Sheriff's Office Chase One, visiting.

That's Claire (L) and Isobel with MY torch!.
Keep your pants on T_richard, Claire's going out with my base pilot, and Isobel is happily married to a guy twice your size
Squirrel, were you flying VIH C-FBER on the fires? I was down with 407 ALM every few days poaching work off you guys.

Another Catenary Photo
I am not sure who is in this shot. It may be during training as the pad was designed for a JetRanger.
One of the previous pilots that tried using the Astar for this same pad admitted to getting into severe resonance. Not a good place to be, surrounded by wires, 700 feet AGL and 4400 feet ASL.

Just the response I expected!
