JetRanger on Astronomy Picture of the Day

Not often you get a JetRanger featured on the NASA website - but this is a great shot:

Anyone we know ?

CVN-73 George Washington was in St. Maarten on a port visit a couple of weeks ago. As the local police helicopter we were tasked with escorting her into port.



Although who was escorting who is questionable









I was surprised we were allowed this close

TIMTS,

You reckon they were dogging you during the escort? This is a close up of the gunner.

That is MD500E operated by Lakelse Air in Terrace, British Columbia, Canada.

http://www.lakelseair.bc.ca/

The 500 is a favoured aircraft in the mining industry as it is fast and fits into small areas and is very stable while passengers exit in the hover, such as on cliffs or mountain ridges. As you can see, it is hard not to have fun flying a "Ferrari" like that.

I worked for Canadian in the same town for a number of years. Back when flying was fun.

Some pictures

This is my first attempt to post some pictures. As a matter of fact it is my first post.
Some pictures of my previous job, S76B at the North Sea, and some of my new job, EC135T2 EMS in Castilla la Mancha, Spain. I hope that it works out.
Does anyone has a tip on how I can adjust the size of the pictures in this message? Because the last one is pretty large. They are almost the same pixel size about 1000*750 and 1000*660.

Welcome on board Heliharm!
1000*750 and 1000*660 looks good for me...
I hope you enjoy Spain.If by chance you are flying with Joan Bravo, give him regards.

Aser,

Hope you're enjoying flying 'with a new attitude' FYI, this week's Av Week contains a flight report on the 139.

The AW-139 is clearly setting a new standard for medium twin class, is't probably great fun fly too....

BTW who is hosting pictures now? where to should I send them??

XPDR 3746?

Aser, not knowing what sort of flying that you do, may answer this, but why the transponder code of 3746?
