Heliports
 

I can only see 130s / a Bell / a 355 and a 135.

Very nice.

Heliports
 

An opportunity to showcase the best (and worst) heliports, helipads and helidecks; past, present and future (designs), from around the world.

'Hooper Heliport' Home to the LAPD's Air Support Unit. Have flown out of this facility three times (twice during the day and once at night) with the former chief check and training pilot for the ASU in the mid-80's. (If anyone recalls his name I'd be grateful).

I wouldn't know where (among best or worst) this one belongs, but looks like an interesting place to land on :)

Ryanboxer, if I may ask where this 6th from the top photo taken? Seams like an Gazelle on it :)

Identifying Ryan's Images
 

The image with the R44 is infact the helideck of Shadow Marine's 'Palladin' - a vessel which was launched at the Ft. Lauderdale boat show in 2005. A further image of her (below):

The 430 seems to be Seaflight's Barrier Reef pontoon. Some years back there was an incident on one of these pontoons between two aircraft (one parked and one landing) where the parked craft had failed to tie down its main rotor resulting in contact between the blades of the landing and parked helicopter.

Beneath Broome Heliport is Macau (Hong Kong).

The heliport with the 205's belongs to Brian Reynolds owner of Northwest Helicopters at Olympia Airport Washington State, Mt. Olympia in the background.

The link to the bottom image would appear to be Wall Street (NY).

Anyone able to identify the remaining shots?

Blimey Zishelix, he's leaving the flare a bit late.

Not if he"s just leaving!

An interesting thread, but please tag the photo, there is no use in putting an image that we cannot identify!

As with all our Rotorheads threads and photos, don't use it as an excuse to put up a lot of photos that anyone can find by trawling t'internet. Unique, personal photos are what we're after :ok:

Mt.Malarayat Golf and Country Club in the Philippines where the 19th hole is .. a helipad! An idea for PPRuNer Estepo perhaps (that's if he doesn't already have one!).

Estepo can use any of the holes but normally parks His gazelle feet from his office in the club house Coool

Afraid it's not an offering from exotic climes (unless you count the North of England as foreign territory) but I guess it's got a certain aesthetic appeal...

I can lay claim to the photographic rights, but the flying rights go to a much more talented individual than me.

In the final image displayed at the bottom of post #13 the pad displays the approach direction much the same as runway numbers. However I'm not sure what the numbers above signify - the pad number perhaps?

JimL to the rescue!
