Practising mid-air retrieval of the Genesis sample return capsule at the Utah Test and Training Range.








Capture helicopters at the US Army Dugway Proving Ground, Utah



The plan to have helicopters snag the space capsule went wrong when its parachutes failed to open.
Flight engineers suspect a set of tiny explosives failed to trigger the parachutes.
Although the capsule hit the desert at a reported 193 mph, it embedded itself in soft desert soil.
Scientists hope the mission will not be a total loss.

Shame the capsule when Ka Splat.

'twas a cold and frosty Polish morning and as I clambered out of my sleeping bag, I realised it was time to climb back in for an extra 5 minutes shuteye.

Pic looks old enough. Don't suppose any of those 109's would now reside at Credenhill?

Here goes, just a few to start with. Higher resolution copies are available if necessary. Big thanks to Graeme at Bluetongue for hosting ...

This is my own picture, at Seaworld last year ...


The next two aren't necessarily for the competition, as they aren't mine.

This one I haven't seen on PPRuNe before, but I might have just missed it. I don't know who took the picture but if anyone does I'd love to know where this is ...


And this one is from a time before mine ... for me, this is an awesome example of the helicopter at work ...



Cheers,
