The black jetranger was taken at Lake Gairdner in South Australia filming a comercial. The 119s were taken on a ferry from Perth to Adelaide. The AS350 at Moomba in South Australia and the helicopter camp is in the kimberley in Western Australia.
Gordy,
"Current Trip"......Hell's Bells Laddy....looks like July in the Photo's as evidenced by being able to see the wires without having to shovel the snow off'em!

Sasless, Yep, its right now---they are in a "heatwave" in ND the last few days, there were a few lines with ice on them, but I did not get pics. I am currently stuck in Jackson, WY in a snow storm for the next day or so:
Feel for ya buddy.
Not sure about the Mangy Moose---I spent a few days in Jackson earlier in the year with my fire crew--we were stuck in weather then too. We spent the evening in some cowboy bar.....
I actually left the aircraft in Jackson and drove to Pocatello. I just got annoyed at the snooty attitude in JAC because I did not arrive in a "business jet" and was not wearing gold bars and scrambled egg. They did not appreciate my scruffy jeans and knitted woolly hat with "Smokey Bear" wings on it, (which was knitted and given to me by my USFS fire crew), therefore I had NO desire to stay in that town.

There are a choice of two images for January, both brilliant photos taken by Mark Ogden in the Australian ski fields when he covered the operation between Mt Hotham and Falls Creek ski resorts.

Top quality pics, Ned. I hope the bloke who did the pre-flight on the Mil in the playground takes another look at the tail-rotor before he goes anywhere... He'd probably just been for a dive in the pool nearby.
