Saw a very impressive R22 display at the French National helicopter champs at Le Mans in 1990 - landing on top of a moving articulated lorry separated from the crowd by a line of barriers 3 feet away!!
They didn't have display limits and minima in those days;) |
Aaah......you need to go to Oz to see some really impressive R22 displays.Theyre at it all the time in the outback!
The cattle and sheep luv it. |
R22 display @ Duxford
Sorry Pittsextra ... no trade knowledge of Paul's planned display routine. But just to say I've seen some impressive R22 sequences over the years and no doubt Paul's display would be good.
On a personal basis I don't display the two bladed types. Q's R44 routine is as good as any I've observed ... plus a couple of others from UK drivers. Any post show reports please? Dennis K. |
Hi Dennis, no sadly it didn't happen! Not sure why as I didn't hear any announcement so nevermind, was quite interested to see what was planned.. Was a nice day to relax and see some interesting old kit.

I heard that the organisers considered the R22 take-off, circuit and landing routine was just too dangerous for all concerned and they replaced it with an un-tethered wing walking display put on by the Blind Foundation.
<ducks> Sorry - just kidding - couldn't help myself! :-D |
That's so unfair!
It's just the landings that are dangerous........... :oh: |

Better not let the billion or so Hindus know you are harassing those cows mate.
BTW, it's Tasmania that does the goat shenanigans, isn't it? ;) |
Tasmania?
Could be, some overseas country. tet. |
