Interesting piccie!!
Just seen this pic over at Airliners.net......:eek:
http://www.airliners.net/open.file?i...ICOPTER&size=L Shame the whole heli wasn't in the shot! p.s. Sorry for the long link, still not sure how to edit them!! :} http://photos.airliners.net/photos/m.../8/1053819.jpg |
I see what you mean. They misspelled D-HUMP.
You're right, it would be interesting to see the tail. Photoshop maybe? |
Its the only thing these Notar people want to do, is to show you that because they are not compotent at landing, they can stick the tail rotor in the ground and damage the airframe instead.
It is impressive that it was airworthy enough to fly though!:confused: |
Apparently this link is a shot taken one second before:

CH, Why did you say "Notar people" in reference to that picture?
|
To Notar or not to Notar, that is the question
...Except that it's not a NOTAR, despite the "false advertising" on the tail.
See: http://new.helionline.net/photogalle.../14505//2.html Just a bog-standard BK with one hell of a hotdog pilot moving the sticks. |
I don't think that is advertising, check the meaning in German.
|
Notarzt closely translated to English is Emergency Surgeon as this is Christoph 27 an air ambulance in Nuremburg. :ok:
|
I don't think that is advertising, check the meaning in German. |
Yes Yes I have seen this before - D-HUMP, base in Fiji - there is a 400ft drop just off shot - the tail is well clear!

MADY This is D-HMUP ... why would there be a German registered a/c in Fiji? http://new.helionline.net/883-264317.../14505/big.jpg |
BK 117
Perhaps its so aft C of G because of the surgeons operating table in the back.

This picture shows how easy it is to rock back on the heels of the skids due to the rotor head design. Very useful technique for dispatching/off loading patients, thus saving the likely strain on the backs of the medics. Manual handling should be avoided if there are other methods, and here is a good example of an alternative. The health and safety executive would be proud of this method but I don't think the aviation would be quite so impressed!
|
or of course be used to allow really tall pax's to approach rotors running without bendng
|
. . . all while sacrificing the pygmy family in the grass behind the aircraft.
|
You're all girlymen. This is how all Germans land. And keep those manicured lawns.

Apart from that, the vegetation is distinctly European rather than tropical. ;)
