Tigerpic. Why are you flying around with a cow's head on a rope ?

My first attempt at a photo in a message...hopefully it works!
This picture is an "Erickson Aircrane" (Olga) at Los Banos airport in California. I happened to be there in the morning and the light was awesome, so I snapped a pic! OK I finally got it...Thanks to John Eacott for hosting the pic and RDRickster for helping out! http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...Pics%20014.jpg |

Click for link to his picture...
(I couldn't post the image directly for some reason - I think that site doesn't allow redirections from external sources) If Rick's link produces 'You are not authorized to view this page', refresh that page and you'll see the picture. Heliport |
Where were we? XW 895. Among other memorable sorties, B1 recat v Burnett 1985, as well as pre-A2 workup (which went a great deal better than A2 v God, but then that wasn't in XW 895)

D44. Attempting a cushion creep limited power TX out of the St Earth Confined area (and just about succeeding, with a limited power wing over to miss the trees at the far end)!! Sandy M suitably unimpressed.

robbo jock: not a cow's head.... it is a HUGE soap-on-a-rope!

Presumably for the crew's annual shower.

Trawling through the old tin trunk, I found a bunch of interesting old shots:
We were tasked to test the jettison for the Sea King, and deducted that the looker would hold the drop button, whilst rotating the weapon station selector. It seemed to work... http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...0ripple%20.jpg 700S had a number of flights & phot sessions: this one is a worry, look at the fixed wing types on the deck ;) http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...0over%20CU.jpg This sort of load was quite an achievement after the Wessex: http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...gun%20lift.jpg Chris Johnson had an engine failure on a SAR launch: he did well to get back on the angle :ok: http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...AR%20crash.jpg They held the launch long enough for the phot to get out of the way ;) http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...20bow%20on.jpg |
