Huey in Mexico about to commence ops on a power line construction project
Hi Blender
Thanks for the advice.
Our real concern for not going too low in addition to wires is some nervous very protective farmers growing crops that look like tomatoe plants
Its very beautiful here, great flying and very nice people.
Might be going through Mexico City in a week or two if you have time for a bien muerto cerveza
Hope I said that right
adios amigo

ayaarr,
Those mountains seem like the place where people like to string SMALL home to home wires across valleys, no posts, they just purchase 2 or 3 hundred meters of wire and swing it themselves from one tree to the next, be careful.
People love doing that up there, and they do it where you will least expect it.
Be careful and have fun.

here are some from a trip to Alaska:
a sample of the spectacular scenery there
along side a CF SAR machine (Caribou?) in Whitehorse, YT.
more of the same recently in Wyoming with staging at 10000' and temps of 25+C which led some white knuckle moments:

Ayaarr,
That spot brings back memories.
Be carefull up there. Many of those loads are way heavier than what they are labeled as.
This example happened Daily :
The steel plate and bags of bolts are the worst as they are not weighed.
hook up to load, pull 50%, wont budge. put hook on ground, take other load, come back hook up to first load again minus weight, still wont budge, go through this several times unitl you get a 1200kg load off the ground ( hmm I wonder what it weighed to begin with), at end of cycle listen to guy with clipboard and stop wacth say how you were much slower this cycle was.
pull hair out,
Crave cold beer after work
If you are where I think you are , there is one decent place to stay in the town. I hope you are there.
Buena Suerte, your gonna need it

Result of tail rotor strike with a tree during long line ops last year
I was told on the same project.
Pilot ok
Canon IXUS800 IS
Rotorboy
We have hook load meters installed
The contractor has actually been very accurate with the weights so far and in six weeks I have had less than six that were approaching the limits and only two that I had to reject.
Tamazunchale is the town
regards and fly safe
Vyskov air museum
Some pics from today when I visited the Vyskov air museum just off the main highway between Brno and Olomouc, Czech Republic. It is a small private museum with an interesting collection of aircraft.
Early EMS/Police Mi-2
Mi-4 Gunship!
Mi-8 with logging window for the Loadmaster! This helicopter was painted back in its original military colours.
Mi-1, Mi-2, Mi-4, and Mi-8

G'day SASless,
It isn't actually a duplicated picture of the Squirrel in the image. I took 11 pictures of the Squirrel as it approached the pad and then using the wonders of Photoshop I overlapped all the images to produce the effect you see above. Each image of the Squirrel you see is the actual attitude and position that the aircraft was in at that stage of the approach.
I told you I should get out more. My machine is in for a 500hrly so I've got a week to kill!
