Why do so many pilots fly with excess vibration, it is fatiguing & causes excessive wear on machine ( see previous photos for EXTREME results ) it is as if they don't understand, we see 70%+ machines with 2 ins split in track & vibes way out or Just! in tolerance

VF,
Your much-appreciated pics are generally pretty impressive (as is your saga) but your canyon flying ones blew me away.

p.s. Were you doing any heli-work in western Queensland around '89 -'90?
(Your face looks familiar, that's all.)

Smoke signals anyone?

I really like the little flag & the covers. You got a night light to keep the Yettis at bay too?

Good morning and Namaste Capt Steve,

Wow the snow storm stops the new brid form being seen almost, did it last for long..

Also the Turkish..sorry Unknown airliners wrong runway arrival, you must have friends up there who can get that flying within a few days, being Turks possibly Fishtails would suit that sort demanding work.

Stay aloft my friend, remember "Wind and feather" in that order.

Peter R-B....almost back into a regular pattern of peace
