The most unusual/challenging landing site in the world?
From a few years back---outside of McCall, Idaho.
And from inside:
I have progressed these days and now use a "RAM" mount, and have upgraded to the 495. "Timothy" also now has a travel companion... Tabitha, although when I took this picture she did not have her "permanent velcro feet" yet, hence the tape around her ankles:

Thanks to Gordy for the pics in post #83.
Reminds me of a landing I did on a remote weather station perched on the side of a hanging cliff on Mt Ninderry close to Sunshine Coast / Maroochydore Airport, Queensland, in an AS350 some time ago (with my heart ponding in my mouth). Fellow pilots who have done the same will appreciate that the only way in is from the North and there's very little margin for error.

Savoia,
I don't have a photo showing on your post, but from the description, the answer is yes.
At the time I was familiar with it, only Sioux, Scout & Gazelle were using the Hole, but I seem to recall seeing a photo of a Lynx down there from later years. Not sure of anything bigger though.

which operator is it?
the greatest helicopter ever in my opinion
On top of the volcano that closed Europe's airspace in April 2010.
another 206 with some funny creatures in the cockpit, your not alone Gordy
as you see it is still steaming

the one on the left is Mr.Clark Kent and the one on the compass is "JB the wizard", named after the pilot who put it in there before started flying it 
and his job is to make sure we are on the right heading

How about this one. I posted it on a previous thread and it comes from the days before Elf & Safety spoilt all our fun !!! Worth watching until the shapely Anneka gets picked up again at the end !
P6,
The Chinooks operated out of Bessbrook quite regularly as well. I believe there were a few Seakings in Bessbrook as well during its time in operation. I quite enjoyed seeing the heavy hardware flying in and out when I was at school beside the base. I do remember the teachers freshly poured cup of coffee going walkies off the table one day when the Wokka came over the school on approach. (It was one of them portacabins that the school used years ago so the vibrations were felt).

Hope the pitot heater(s) is(were) on.
