Since someone else posted some shots from training, here are a couple I have taken as well.
And something that we are all aspiring to fly someday! Gotta love it when working helicopters make it to our field.

Great 22 shots, JL.
Looks like you need to get up at O Christ Hundred Hours in your part of the world...

The picture was of the Wasp helicopter from HMS Endurance hovering above the crippled submarine Santa Fe at Grytviken whaling berth. HWB was the airframe driver

HWB was part of my entry at Dartmouth, in another life. He was awarded the DSC for his actions, plus has a mountain named after him on South Georgia (IIRC). Not bad for a chopper puke

But the rotary hours were certainly the greater fun!
- they were also certainly the most interesting!
I was fortunate enough to have what I considered the best two flying jobs in the Navy - the New Zealand exchange tour and flying in Antactica from HMS ENDURANCE!The trouble is that the majority of those I flew are sitting in museums or being used to shave with!
Even the one in the photo above is sitting in the Fleet Air Arm Museum!

The best way to introduce myself to PPRuNE is by posting the pictures of the helicopters I have been flying recently down in Italy.
The private corporate company I have been flying for 3 years used to own the first italian registered EC130 B4. The one in the picture is actually his twin. On the side there's a AS355 N and recently an AS365N2 has been added to the fleet.
CIAO!
Sardegna, very hot summer of 2007
In the company's private helipad in Arezzo, spring 2007. The one in the back is the other EC130 B4
