Hey High NR, perhaps you should take your paedophilia to one of your other frequently visited forums?

Blender, Eacott and now Steve76
 

You guys would all know the OZ term of endearment, 'he's a bastard'.

Used diffenently it might be he's a real mongrel bastard' not very endearing, at all!! - or 'he's a right bastard' you know giving us a hard time, the final one - 'he's a proper bastard' meaning he's shown up and skiting about something right our of reach of the rest of us at that time.

And I reckon that Blender, well he's a real proper bastard!!

Liked that:) :D :) :E :8

Steve 76 :

You do have class; she's packed in a "TEAM CANADA HOCKEY BAG", nice touch.

The closest I've ever been to Australia is when I watched the movie Cocodrile Dundee although I went out with a girl from Australia for about 6 months when I was about 19, her accent, aaayy que bonitooo.

Not often you get a JetRanger featured on the NASA website - but this is a great shot:

CVN-73 George Washington was in St. Maarten on a port visit a couple of weeks ago. As the local police helicopter we were tasked with escorting her into port.

Although who was escorting who is questionable

I was surprised we were allowed this close

TIMTS,

You reckon they were dogging you during the escort? This is a close up of the gunner.

blatently showing my ignorance here, but what's the little blue jobbie that's been skiing, and where is it? Also, can I come visit sometime? :E

That is MD500E operated by Lakelse Air in Terrace, British Columbia, Canada.

http://www.lakelseair.bc.ca/

The 500 is a favoured aircraft in the mining industry as it is fast and fits into small areas and is very stable while passengers exit in the hover, such as on cliffs or mountain ridges. As you can see, it is hard not to have fun flying a "Ferrari" like that.

I worked for Canadian in the same town for a number of years. Back when flying was fun.

Some pictures
 

This is my first attempt to post some pictures. As a matter of fact it is my first post.
Some pictures of my previous job, S76B at the North Sea, and some of my new job, EC135T2 EMS in Castilla la Mancha, Spain. I hope that it works out.
Does anyone has a tip on how I can adjust the size of the pictures in this message? Because the last one is pretty large. They are almost the same pixel size about 1000*750 and 1000*660.

Take off from our base Cuenca, Spain.

Welcome on board Heliharm!
1000*750 and 1000*660 looks good for me...
I hope you enjoy Spain.If by chance you are flying with Joan Bravo, give him regards.

Aser,

Hope you're enjoying flying 'with a new attitude' :E FYI, this week's Av Week contains a flight report on the 139.

I/C

I quite like this one.... it is my shot, but I still like it!

Wannabe,

That is not a Photograph, its a painting.

Still a pretty cool one though.

The AW-139 is clearly setting a new standard for medium twin class, is't probably great fun fly too....

BTW who is hosting pictures now? where to should I send them??

No doubts, I'm enjoying flying it, even with the new "attitude"

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...z/P1010008.jpg

;)

Regards.
Aser

That thing is smoking too much isn't it??

What to you mean by a "new attitude"?

I think he's refering to the attitude control system and stability augmentation system that's fitted to the 139...

I was actually referring to the aircraft's rearwards CG, which gives it a flat attitude in cruise (weird after years flying nose down), but cptjim's answer was equally valid. :ok:

I/C

Blender,I'm sorry, I just had to clean the camera :}
The new attitude is 7,5º nose up minimum in hover, or more with a full load.

Regards.
Aser

Haha, are you sure? I didn't notice. It looks so real, if you are right, the guy is a bloody good painter!!

Terrace, BC
 

In my opinion, I'd rather look at every angle of that AW139, I am not lucky enough to drive that beast yet.

Here are a few shots from my previous job. One of the best co-workers a guy can ask for was called up to fix a crippled squirrel.

Look close at the second shot to find the Astar..

:confused: What do we have here?

Resulted from Nick Lappos being told the only way he could stay ahead of the aircraft was if he was sitting on the pitot tube.;)

hotzenplotz,

SAS has got the right answer but the other version of the story is that, if I'm not mistaken, it's a testbed for the Commanche. It's an S-76 with a FBW Commanche cockpit grafted on to the front of it. One TP sits up front to test the system.

HTH,

B73 :ok:



Edited to add: Just seen another re-run of the 'CyberCopter' doco on Discovery Wings: Mr Lappos was explaining in detail exactly what the 'Shadow' aircraft was intended for. He can certainly give you further details if you require...!

That's a nice rock that she's wearing! Lucky bloke.

You can see how the red paint work on the helicopter brings out the orange trim on her bikini...

Some pilot's have all the fun.:ok:

What helicopter? Where?!?!

Oooooooooh yeah... :E

Hotzenplotz,

Do you know where they build those little separate compartments, I would like to adapt one of those to my car for when the lady starts nagging . . . .

Blender:

They're built in to the lady at birth.

Wow belly tank im coming to visit you in a bit so make sure she's still there:D :D :D :D :D

Another couple of offerings from around the world this month. The R22 image comes from vaqueroaero, and was taken near San Diego. Click on the thumbnail image, and the full size photo will open to be available as your desktop image (the widescreen images are fairly large files, so expect a slow download if you're on a dialup connection):

Belly Tank provided the S64 image from firefighting at Gosford, NSW, earlier this year. The Rural Fire Service contracted this Skycrane:

We are still looking for good hi res photos to be used as calendar backgrounds, please contact me via e mail [email protected] if you have something to be used. I need at least 1280 x 800 for widescreen, and 1024 x 768 for standard.

Thanks :ok:
