Haha!

Flightmanuals usually states "Minimum crew is one pilot".

I guess it's finally time to stop lurking and actually post something on this forum. Here are some views from my cockpit while working on my CPL(H) in Oregon, USA.

Congratulations, it only seems yesterday that you were ab - initio.

What / why, are those gadgets at the top of the bubble under the o'head panel?

[topendtorque]

Now Blackhawk9, tell us that there is more than the usual box of biscuits for the troops out bush in this military sling load? Coning angle etc ? .
cheers tet

[Pekka]

Tanks topendtorque, yes it’s seems like yesterday. Time fly’s that is for sure!

The brackets under the window are for hanging up Headsets and Helmets, and the bracket in the middle is the airspeed limitations and hover ceiling placard.

[Blackhawk9]

tet the photo's of Blackhawk 206 were taken at Dili airport in mar 2002 and the sling load was a replacement head or MGB for another Blackhawk can't remember which now and the photos of 105 were taken in Aug 2002 ,105 was my favorite when I was in, I had over 300 hrs in the back of that helo, was the first Blackhawk in the country to run 4 x tanks , flew Townsville to Canberra in one hop and a few other trips ,longest hop I did in that helo was 9.9 hrs take off to landing. I think 105 is the one the Army just spudded into the ground in Timor the other month!!!!(cat 4)

screen settings

afternoon all
Q...have the photo settings changed as the last photos that I can see
were Blenderpilot's squirrel (with models) it could be just my laptop
and dislexic fingers...please - any ideas as I'm hanging out to start
seeing again.
cheers,
NNB

[Thud_and_Blunder]

NNB,

I don't think any of the settings have changed - I occasionally get online sessions where several pics don't appear first time. Usually, by scrolling to the post where you expect a pic then re-loading the page (sometimes with 2 or 3 attempts) I get the pic to appear. Keep trying, eh?

The days in our office are never the same, wich makes this a fantastic job
And sometimes we have big jobs to complete and we need 2 big birds :


Once and a while we demonstrate our operation, like our fellow pilots in Belgium

On the way to the top of Mt Kenya, stuggling for a rate of climb:

Got there in the end (16K). Not me, you understand. A friend of mine did it, then ran away!
