Hey Hollywood,

You over-arc'ed at the bottom!

Early EMS/Police Mi-2

Is this an aeroplane or a helicopter??

It's not only tarted-up Lynx that can reach 400 km/h. :E Stick a couple of wings on a 105, take an angle grinder to its skids and bob's your onkel.

G'day SASless,

It isn't actually a duplicated picture of the Squirrel in the image. I took 11 pictures of the Squirrel as it approached the pad and then using the wonders of Photoshop I overlapped all the images to produce the effect you see above. Each image of the Squirrel you see is the actual attitude and position that the aircraft was in at that stage of the approach.

I told you I should get out more. My machine is in for a 500hrly so I've got a week to kill!

CH :cool:

You should have joined your flat mate for a couple of days down here in the snow :p

Being a desert boy I've never actually been to the snow John, one of these days though! Had to cover for my flatmate anyway!

CH :cool:

I dont know about that. The snow I dropped you onto in the Squirrel at 6500ft in NZ was pretty real ;)

I don't count that as having 'been' to the snow BM. I have experienced snow for 10mins though and very grateful to your good self for the opportunity.

CH :cool:

Took several days going through this thread but it was worth it. Do not fly helo for a living but have 40-50 hours in them from time to time, so know just enough to be dangerous in the things. Saw the above post and photo with it and it reminded me of an old friend.

Was at an airshow recently, where I am a judge for some of the antique airplanes. I also hold a hot dog/hamburger lunch for anyone associated with this model of plane at the airport. Walking around the area was an older gent wearing a hat and just looking around at all of the planes. I recognized him, having known him for a while as well as his being a member of our QB group here in the area.

I called for him to come over and enjoy a free lunch with us. There were about 20 others around and it seemed that no one knew who he was. Turns out that he was looking to buy an antique plane to fly around in so we spent over an hour talking about the pros and cons of each one.

After all of this discussion one of my friends was sitting next to this gent and having a good time. I mentioned to Gareth, who has about 30 years in the Army flying everything they have, that he should talk to the new guy about helos. Gareth asked why and it was at this time that the newcomer introduced himself.

He was Sergi Sikorsky, the son of Igor Sikorsky and still involved with Sikorsky Helicopters. He is still flying at the age of 81 years old but semi retired out here in Arizona. Anyone wanting to meet him who comes to the area in either March or October, PM me and can help at the fly-in.

Here's one of a German ship sunk during WWII in Aruba. From a R44 on a quick trip around the island.

Here we go again.

While flying a R44 around Aruba, I took this picture of a German ship sunk in Aruba during WWII.
It is just a few feet under water during low tide.

Don't know but those ships look like they are floating on the water :}

Ther is always one. Try looking under the water. After all it is a sunk ship. Try this one.
