Close examination of my one remaining brain cell shows that I dinged the frangible tail end piece on XW895 while doing practice EOLs at EGDR.
I over-corrected in the landing-run, several times, and we came to a halt at 90 degrees to our original heading.
The tower hit the crash button on our behalf.......

A picture I took while training in Oz '02-'03. Two of the robbies I was learning in at Moorabbin.
I like the way the sun reflects in both of them. But I LOVED the fact that my friends back in Sweden where at the beginning of winter while the summer was just around the corner when I took the picture

A few pictures from Canada.
Rappel training in Hinton, Alberta. Conair Helicopters (Frontier Helicopter in the old days) ceased operations at the end of that summer (2001) to concentrate on their fixed wing division. Not my picture (Peter Kwan's).
Helifor's Chinook during BC's forest fire season last year.
VIH's 61 working on the McGillivray Lake Fire near Chase, BC
If this doesn\'t work again, my apologizies to all.
I'll let Heliport fix the problem for me and see what I did wrong...
All done.
Imabell's rehosted the pics and resized them at the same time.

At flight level 420 you can see the world is round. But you guys see the world!
If we had a competition for best one line, you'd be in the running to win.

Some older ones from my archives... I have to apologize for the poor quality ==> bad scanner
"Hanging Loose"
For me still the most challenging kind of flying...
First time ever I've seen a helicopter doing that kind of stuff...
"East meets West"
A russian "Tatra" fuel truck is refueling "my" 206 in Pardubice/Czech.
A nice "hello" to the 3 guys from the Czech CAA. This was the very first time in 12 years of aviation that I got ramp checked

This was a RCMP rescue was of two people who fell into a crevasse at Panorama Ridge in Golden Ears Park near Pitt Meadows, British Columbia.
The incident occurred in the spring of 2000. Cpl Dwayne Jennings (pilot) of the Vancouver Air Section of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police made 6 trips to the ridge in his Eurocopter Astar B-3.
This picture, and the one posted on the next page, were taken by Kevin Thompson of the Meadows SAR team.
Thanks to chopperdr for providing the story behind the amazing picture.

Strictly speaking my point of view but he has a bit more hill to land on ahead of the skids...tell the bloke in the thong to piss off and park the helo there or even (depending on wind direction)park the machine 90 degrees round....Am I looking to much into this or would that be common sence!!
In addition to above....Cool picture nonr the less
Lets see our cousins flying fixed wing do that
