Danish military helicopters are now all based at Karup, EKKA. I will try to post pictures, but here is the forum, where I first put them:
Best regards
Shades of "Topgun"? Hughes 500 pass the Tower:
And well-sync'ed rotors on S-61A's:
Hmmm, that didn't work, so please click links.

I was pleased to see your reference to Simon, and emailed him this afternoon to tell him of his great fame
This is his response...
Can you reply to this and give them this url to read:

For a non-aviator he does take some pretty cool pictures...
This is a great topic - keep the pics coming

Here's one of me doing paperwork. Before i went on holidays,
I could post a pic of what it was like when i got back from holidays but i dont think its classed as a helicopter anymore! I think the word is wreckage.

Here are a few shots from my flight instuctor's (and good friend) website.
The inside of EC120B over the Free State province in South Afica. I don't know if you can see it in the pic, but is indicating over 120 knots at an altitude of over 4000 feet. Not too shabby.
The EC-120 doing high site maintenance for a communications company.
He survived an engine failure in a Hughes 500 as well!!He had an engine failure during a descent, and had to make a forced landing in very rough terrain at rather high elevation. He hit a tree during the flare, and came to a standstill inverted. It is clear from the wreck that the relatively minor injuries were a miracle.
I've survived something similar in a Piper Arrow (at night), but won't bother you with pics of that, since it isn't (or should I say WASN"T) a rotorwing craft.

ferneytickels, you seem to have forgotten the response. Its a bit hard to respond to ...................... no response!
OK, lets see if I'm clever enought to host my own pictures. If it works, Its a spot I landed at the other day. Its out near Canning dam, Perth western australia. (fingers crossed)
Approach
Could be a good picnic spot
Aint it perty.
A big rock
The other one I fly. (note; the brand new rescue chopper in the background)
I put this one in coz its a good piccy of the new rescue ship in perth.
This aught to qualify me for a calender!
Alrighty, looks like I'm cleverer than mum told me. Any one wanting a few piccies hosted, email em to me and I'll host a few. seems I have a bit of server space to spare.

Sorry, I didn't put the response part in inverted commas...
"Can you reply to this and give them this url to read:

Hope this makes more sense.
General Q - not being a heli-person myself, but loving the pictures
Do helicopters have similar problems with turbulence over the fires that fixed wing aircraft do?

CH,
No doubt some "local requirement" to have the LH flight step removed for this technique
The attached photo came via DishMan, with the attached text from the original source:
"This attached 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. "
Not sure about the "unique" bit, looks a bit reminiscent of VN ops?

Aft gear down...two inches aft cyclic...control heading with pedals...pitch attitude with Thrust Lever (collective)...all very easy to do really. Advantage of tandem rotor and "big" helicopter. Works on rice paddy dikes as well...

Just curious - is that a CAMPFIRE down there (below the center of the helicopter)???? Also looks like there might be a couple spot fires just inside the front porch? How come there's no downwash blowing everything all over the place underneath the forward rotor blades? I don't see any trees being affected by rotor wash, or any dust in the air??? I'm not suggesting that's a doctored photo, but it certainly is interesting. Any idea who took the photo? You said it came from 'DishMan'. Can we get in touch with him to get more info?
