Downtown Los Angeles, looking North East. http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...e/CIMG0368.JPG Fame at last!! Your namesake in writing for you, Captain Hollywood! http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...e/CIMG0470.JPG The marine layer spilling over the hills at Monterey Bay, just south of San Francisco. http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...e/CIMG0480.JPG Took a trip to the Hiller Aviation Museum at San Carlos. This wee beastie has ram jet engines on the blades. Talking to one of the guides it was, apparently, one of the loudest aircraft he's ever heard and burned a staggering 130 gallons per hour! http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...e/CIMG0491.JPG A rather undignified end...... A million thanks to John Eacott and Heliport. |

If Hollywood is who I think he is, he's done his fair share of roughing it at the canyon, back in the old days! eh DPOD? P1 did you live in Caloundra for a while? T |

The following pictures were taken from slides from a personal collection. They were taken in the west coast of Canada sometime in 1958. That is all I know really. Would love to know if anyone in pprune-land have flown this type or even better know who the crew are. Enjoy..!

As promised here are some from the recent photo shoot at Pax River of the AH1Z and UH1Y.
Autorotate. P.S. More to come if anyone is interested and in the second image you can see that our camera ship dwarfed the other two aircraft substantially. http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...ary/pax021.jpg http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...ary/pax022.jpg http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...ary/pax046.jpg http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...ary/pax027.jpg http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...ary/pax042.jpg http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...ary/pax043.jpg http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...ary/pax037.jpg |

B-P,haven`t you got something a leeetle bigger, then you can bring in the Band as well!! That will really sort them out ... Great pic.....

Blender, :ok:
I haven't stopped chuckling since I saw that picture - the best for months! Thanks for an essential bit of light relief - if it wasn't for the PPRuNe calendars I'd have that as my desktop. |
A few more for the Rotorheads album....

Going into LAX. The helipads are located on the roof of the top left hand building of the group surrounding the tower. The clearance goes something like "Cross 25 left midfield at 1500 feet, landing West pads at your own risk"
The airport is about 130 feet MSL. It's a hairy approach, with no room for a go-around! http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...%20Airport.jpg Thanks to John Eacott. |

Out of interest, what are they seeding out of that hopper, and how many passes would they get out of one load? Seems like it's spewing out!
SLC. |
In What part of NZ are the pics taken, Autorotate?
|
Simlink - They are spreading superphosphate fertilizer. Its not really about how many passes as they might just do one long pass covering a number of paddocks or they might do ten or so passes if its a small paddock so its like how long is a piece of string.
407driver - They are based at Ardmore airfield just south of Auckland but the topdressing was being done out towards Alfriston, country suburb of Auckland and the spraying out on the Manukau Pensinula, over the other side of the harbour from Auckland Intl Airport. Autorotate. |

Having looked with envy at John's photos of the "rich life", I found some old shots of the steam driven Navy ;)
826NAS with a stream landing, HMS Eagle about October 1971 (checking the log book, I'm in 142 on 5 spot, with Chris Waite as P2! We were returning from a fly past at Sembawang, not sure what for?) http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...nding%2002.jpg Fly One, HMS Eagle, around the same time. Looking at the sea surface, it would appear a calm day. Looks can be deceiving! http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...20one%2002.jpg Painting the flight deck was a harmless way to get a bit of bronzy-bronzy: fine study of the Ship's Flight Wessex HAS1 :cool: http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...ck%20paint.jpg |
A few vintage pics, at the request of HeloPilot. More from other places later. These came from a rummage through an old Canadian Forces PR file in Halifax. No idea where & when they were taken.
Piasecki HUP-3; the DA probably helps with the ability to lift more than a mail sack. http://img55.photobucket.com/albums/...UP-3_pic_2.jpg http://img55.photobucket.com/albums/...y/f473d8b1.jpg Somewhere a bit warmer, Miami? http://img55.photobucket.com/albums/...sy/RCN_H55.jpg H55 in the dip http://img55.photobucket.com/albums/...CN_H55_Dip.jpg |
This is at RAF Valley, Whirlwind 10 from the Search and Rescue Training Unit. This crevice near the base was used for training winchmen/operators. I'd bet they still use it, so if anyone finds a lens cap in there you know where to send it.

May Rotorheads Calendar Directly from Nicaragua!
Well no, I'm not really in Nicaragua, those of you who thought I might have been the lucky one to get locked up in a cell with 4 exotic dancers :)
That wasn't me :( Which brings me to the fact that the May calendar is ready and can be downloaded HERE! This has been one of my favorites, I hope you like it. Thanks to Flying Lawyer for the great picture! http://homepage.mac.com/helipilot/PP...ayCalendar.jpg |
From a photographic viewpoint, gorgeous photo. Beautiful lighting, nice movement in the blades. Great choice.
Ned |
Ya, the colors came out pretty well on that shot, eh?
Nicely done. |
|
Well done BlenderPilot. :ok:
It's a beautiful photograph of a helicopter that will go down in history as a classic. BTW, when I dowloaded the photo I could see a bar at the bottom with details of the picture but when I set it as my desktop the bar disappeared. Do I need to change any settings? :confused: |
