Did you fly for Heli at CPT. Looks like the old pad where we used
to land the 22īs and 44īs.

It is the pads HELI uses, but they are also the general heli pads for the airport. The chopper is privately owned and myself and another pilot ferried it to Jo'burg.

It's just a plain ol' Power, Davy07 (no endplates on the horizontal stab and not enough windows.)

But out of interest, Big Mike, what's with the engine intakes? Is that some sort of particle separator/filter?


(Also, who's going to have to wash the tail after every flight? )

Caught on the ground at the Langport steam rally on Saturday 19 July 2008.






Perhaps this one should be in the Caption Competition thread?

I thought the Arabella estate was in the Boland, near Betty's Bay, rather than in Cape Town? Other side of the mountains, surely?

It's nearer Hermanus. About 30-45mins in a R44 from Cape Town International. Over Salaris Pass mountains.

TwinHueyMan Great Photo's... Where were these taken?

TwinHueyMan, I agree with FACT pilot - those are good quality pics. Just don't let Crab@saavn see them! The thought of 902s using hoists makes Nurse reach for the key to his medicine cabinet, methinks.
