TS - I wish, that would make it much easier and I wouldnt have to travel so much

The valley I was shooting in had a lot of hollows and the Lama would dissapear from sight quite a few times and it was interesting to watch. This was just as he was about to spray downhill on the far side of a gully and up the other side towards me.

Cool

I guess the tourists didn't read the sign on the far right "Warning Trespassers will be decapitated" ....they just happened to get away lucky this time.

This pilot may have gotten away with it, only for the IAA were watching in camouflage from behind!

Not another calendar?

Here's a few Neddy....

1) Helicopter attitude, pilot attitude, it's a chicken & egg thing.

2) First comes helicopter attitude then pilot attitude.

3) First comes pilot attitude then helicopter attitude.

4) Fly Lama for a new slant on things.

5) If they'd just paint an umbrella on this thing then I'd know which end is up.

After seeing some of the footage, the producers wondered whether the "Airwolf" remake on a budget really was such a great idea..

The Speeder's United Gold Finger campaign to counter Plod Radar Traps took an ugly turn while using aerosol delivered Laughing Gas as a tactic.
