Fantastic photos

CO280fx,

You have to do a book!! Stunning photos.

I am surprised Enstrom are not banging your door down to get them on their website.

Keep them coming.

These photos and Vertical Freedom's shots must rank as the jewels in Rotorheads crown.

Yep awesome, especially that self portrait one

I see 280 fx hasn't tracked down that shoe shop that the good Savoia recommended for him either.

Nice pics

At the risk of sounding like a nerd, what camera did you use and how much post-capture processing did you do?

Hello CO280fx,

Wonderful !

I was thinking for some time about the same thing that Vertical Freedom :

Open a thread !

So, with your photos and those of VF, we'll have the best of the best !

CO280fx,

Wonderful autumn colours and a magnificent set of photos: thank you.

This thread is the largest in PPRuNe, and your contribution along with others make it the success it has become. VF's photos were moved to a single thread because of the unique nature of the location, challenges and ability of the helicopter being used in the Top of the World.

I would rather your photos remain here in the same thread as others from that wonderful country of yours, reminding us all of what it is to be a helicopter pilot

Thanks
