Quick Release,

You don't have to fly it any differently, in any conditions that I know of, because of the low blade design on these. The blade stops prevent the blades from drooping low enough to hit the bubble. Again, when the blades are spinning, there is ample (relatively) space between them and the bubble. It is a unique design, but provides a very smooth ride.

These jungles are very dense and you can fly for a long time without having a suitable landing spot.


There are thousands of Mayan Archeological Sites, many of them only visible from the air.


Down the Beach,




Good compressor wash will be required


Cruise ship on its way to Cozumel


Anybody lose a ship?


There is German WWII submarine clearly visible from the air sunk infront of this rock, the WX was really bad and I couldn't get a picture.


These are some of the helicopters that fly offshore on the Mexican side of the GOM, the weather is really hot down here!


Oil rigs in the GOM, 34°C.


Cancun
