Returning home in the late afternoon over Sydney... The Blue Mountains in the distance.

Kopter - Thats a gorgeous shot. If the tail rotor had a bit more movement in it I would suggest it be a poster image.

Start - Programs - Photoshop!!!:}

Thanks Ned, it was taken by News Ltd photographer, Simon Bullard from a AS350.

The shoot was in support of the forthcoming flick Transformers. The USAF was also kind enough to allow the F-117 and F-22 to be used for the film.

Good rear-quarter ID for the CV vs. MV are the additional DIRCM antennae.

Kopter - Tell him he does some nice work. Unfortunately those who dont shoot helos regularly always do that cardinal sin of using too fast a shutter speed and stopping the blades. Apart from that it is a gorgeous image.

Pass on to him that shooting a helo would be best with 125th or slower then he will ace it. :ok: :ok:

Ned

Kopter,

Fantastic shot.

Any chance that you have a 1024x768 version that could be used as a desktop background ?

How about August's calendar as well BlenderP. ?

John

Kopter - Were these taken by Simon as well, if so he caught on quickly :D

Love the movement in the blades.

Na... Top one by a friend of mine, Michael Perini (A very talented (Australian) photographer now working in Hong Kong) and the other one by a pax in another helicopter that overtook me!!!::}

Few more from my files. The A109s are Heli Dubai's toys and the EC130 is operated by Las Vegas helicopters, naturally in Las Vegas.

Quick question to all the LongRanger/TwinRanger pilots out there: Is one actually allowed to fly the LongRanger/TwinRanger without the middle section litter door on the left side in place, as is the case in the photograph above? I merely ask, because I have never seen a LongRanger or TwinRanger fly in such a configuration before.

Big Mike,

Had dinner with your boss on Tuesday night and told him how great I thought you photos of the Alpha fleet were. :ok:

Keep up the good work:D

Few from the travels.
