Fire Pilot,
Thanks for the background info and for explaining 'toe-in' which had me confused for a second, I find it interesting that 6000' - 7000' landings are no big deal, flying in the UK we obviously don't go near those sort of altitudes(normally) let alone land at them,we'd struggle to get that sort of site cleared for public transport in a single anyway. Must admit to been a bit jealous,seems like a decent place to fly around. |
Nils did the scouting for the job. The primary pilot in most of the filming was Angus Gibson. Paul Turecki was the main ski guide for the operation. Drew Rose also did some of the flying for the film.
Some of the elevations we work in Utah can get up to 11,000' feet for heliskiing. I know they fly even higher than that down in Telluride. It is a lot less work flying at 6-7000' At least its not hot ;) |
I worked with the Wescam DoP Mark Hryma a while back, A pretty talented dude.
There are a couple of short reels of First Decent and others on his site. http://www.flyboypictures.com/reel.html |
