Few more from my files. The A109s are Heli Dubai's toys and the EC130 is operated by Las Vegas helicopters, naturally in Las Vegas.

Quick question to all the LongRanger/TwinRanger pilots out there: Is one actually allowed to fly the LongRanger/TwinRanger without the middle section litter door on the left side in place, as is the case in the photograph above? I merely ask, because I have never seen a LongRanger or TwinRanger fly in such a configuration before.

Big Mike,

Had dinner with your boss on Tuesday night and told him how great I thought you photos of the Alpha fleet were.

Keep up the good work

Encyclo, thanks. I have just purchased a new Canon 30D and 24-70 f2.8L lens. The image quality is a big step up from a pocket camera!

Big Bucks Bernie, The 206L4T can be flown with any combination of doors off according to the Flight manual. The center pillar of the rear door on the left is not a load bearing structure.

Revolutionary, thanks it is a nice helicopter to fly. Just wish it had a little more power! The 429 should be good when it arrives.

While we are reviving shots, a couple sent from a friend on the Gold Coast - Australia, sometime ago. A really nice B2 Squirrel...

A couple of shots of Alfa Helicopter's newest 427, OK-AHE, in the new company colours, during some training at sunset recently, at Olomouc EMS Station, Czech Republic.
Krystof 9 on it's pad in the foreground awaiting it's next mission.
