Ref the Sea King, what I'd like to know is what was the comment that someone wrote in the soot, that has been rubbed off for the photos?:)

I'm not sure you've seen it now. ;)
A little collective friction, cyclic in left hand and taking picture with right?

Thanks Carlos.

Excellent calendar. :ok:



Heliport

Wow, I've never seen Mt. Isa look nice before!!:D

The ISA looks great with a bottle of RUM in you!

vertical collective...
 

Thank you Flying Lawyer, now that makes sense. :O

I think you have the neatest coey in the business at the moment, if that's what she was?:rolleyes:

Ned-air2Air
A few years since I've had you in the front seat of an R22 or B47 sunshine, you've been in a good paddock.

I recognise the sandshoe boot, that's all, did the 407 run to seat belt extenders?????:sad: :D

TET

TopEndTorque,

Since I have only ever flown with one person in an R22 or 47 in OZ I know exactly whom you be :ok: :ok: :ok:

Hope life is well with you and still have heaps of amazing photos I shot with you during those few days. For the record that trip ranks as prob my best trip of all time :ok:

Cheers and that is NOT me in the front of the 407. I took the photo and sat in the back for the shoots :D

Cumbrian Air Ambulance Bolkow performs two pick-ups from a fairly tight location in Foxfield near Broughton-in-Furness.

Loads of wires, trees, fences, lamp posts and buildings around - two very well flown pick-ups were made after a very thorough recce of the location.

(All pics sent to me - not mine.)

Speaking of the V22, here are a couple of pics emailed to me by a friend who is CEO of Helinet in LA.


They were shooting the V22s as part of some movie or advert over the White Sands area.

Note: They are the USAF versions.

Air Force? I guess the Marines have done a trick on the Zoomies then....sure says Marines on the sides of the things! This will be a first....the Marines handing down something to the Air Force!:uhoh:

Ralphie,

You must be going blind :D :D

Look on the side of the two pics I posted, the USAF insignia is clearly visible. These two V22s are based at Kirtland AFB as part of the first squadron to stand up using the CV22. I think they are the training squadron.

Cheers

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.

Ned

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.

I/C

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.

Ned

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.
