Another tough day out heli fishing.
A special shot for our member here that attacked us kiwis for ridding the country of an unwanted pest.
Got to watch the V-22 start, taxy and takeoff when visiting Pax River. Amazing aircraft to watch.
Close up view of Isabelle and its donkey dick sucking out of the ponds on the Terrey Hills golf course.

Rigid, You are probably correct, here's a picture that shows the markings better.
I wasn't able to talk to this crew, as I did with the SeaKing the day before.

407 regarding to the Autorotate signature I'm not going to divulgate the GPS coordinates, in interest of sheep security... 
If you like the pictures I'll post some more from my collection.
Thanks. Look forward to seeing them.

I was at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton (CYHM) last week and took these pictures.
The S-51 (H-5) was built for the RCAF in 1947 and served until 1959.
I find the hoist /stretcher arrangement ingenious if not scary for the casualty.
The S-51 is not airworthy but the museum has a lot of aircraft that are and fly regularly i.e. the: Lancaster, B-25 Mitchell, Harvard, DC-3, Chipmunk, and Canso.
Its worth a visit if you’re in the neighborhood.
Breaking out on top, I thought the picture would turn out better but.(not)

This young CHC pilot dropped in to our (Alpine Heli ) Base today on a ferry flight, The evil CHC Base is across the runway, and off-airport, but he never knew where it was.
Normally, we'd have taken him prisoner, but he was so young and small, we threw him back.....

Jcooper, It was a slow shutter speed and a winding down rotor. I believe I am allowed to leave the chopper when its engine is stopped....................OK with you?
