Encyclo, thanks. I have just purchased a new Canon 30D and 24-70 f2.8L lens. The image quality is a big step up from a pocket camera!
Big Bucks Bernie, The 206L4T can be flown with any combination of doors off according to the Flight manual. The center pillar of the rear door on the left is not a load bearing structure. |
Time for a memory refresh:ok: ..........she did mention something about wanting to learn to fly...nearly makes you want to get an instructor rating. :=

BigMike, Your pictures are great! -I wish I was flying such a nice EMS aircraft in such beautiful surroundings. I'm green with envy!
|
Revolutionary, thanks it is a nice helicopter to fly. Just wish it had a little more power! The 429 should be good when it arrives.
While we are reviving shots, a couple sent from a friend on the Gold Coast - Australia, sometime ago. A really nice B2 Squirrel... ;) http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a3/...s/IMG_0246.jpg |
A couple of shots of Alfa Helicopter's newest 427, OK-AHE, in the new company colours, during some training at sunset recently, at Olomouc EMS Station, Czech Republic.

BigMike,
In the photo with the 427 on the pad above, what's the cable-esque thing plugged into the nose? Ground-supplied power? |
Pandalet, yes it is a GPU cable. It allows for a much faster start-up time, no waiting for an Amp drop to start the second engine. As soon as the 1st engine is self-sustaining, you push the start switch acrooss to start the second. The 427 has a partial FADEC, you must monitor the Temp and close the throttle manually should it start to go hot.

Few more from the travels.

It is a tuneable HF aerial. If I remember correctly, the length actually changes dependent on the frequency tuned in. The idea being to give optimum signal reception for a relatively small aerial system.

Depends on the company you keep and the kind of q’s that float out, the following is often an explanation accepted with great plausability and wise head nodding.
“The red button on the top of the cyclic? Why that is connected to the long stick out in front, the same as an electric cattle prod, used to prod particularly slow cattle” Of course I could say that it was an aerial with an internal device that had a great wheel connected via a bowden cable to move a slug up and down the thick part to tune in a particular HF frequency. Not many countries use HF. But of course you might then think that I was having a lend of you. |

Great pictures Ned. :ok: :D

R22DRIVER, check out Ned's photo of the 500 in New Zealand. You can see an HF aerial attached underneath as well.
|
ThankYou Boys!
I wasnt sure if it was an aerial for operating in sparse areas or something used to prod the dopey animals! Thanks again! R22:ok: |

Been looking at this long enough.
Yours truly at the Salthill Airshow, Co Galway, (not watching the sun go down on the bay, either!). |

This one is a aerial for tracking Judas collars and tagged kiwi's in the bush.:ok: Last Update: Tuesday, July 25, 2006. 6:18pm (AEST) Cross-dressing NZ lawyer challenges 'boys' club' A male lawyer who appeared in a New Zealand court dressed in an ankle-length skirt, lace stockings and a diamond brooch said he was protesting against a male bias in the country's justice system. Rob Moodie, a former New Zealand Police Union secretary, stunned the courtroom yesterday when he appeared in women's clothing at a hearing related to a long-running case involving the death of a man in a bridge collapse on a North Island farm. Mr Moodie said he wore the two-piece women's suit because of what he described as a boys' network in the court room. "I'm objecting to the male ethos that is dominating this case and from now on I'm going to be dressing as a girl in my daily life," Mr Moodie told Reuters. "It wouldn't have happened if I hadn't seen the gung-ho attitude in this case. The more this goes on and the deeper the cover-up gets, the frocks will get prettier," he said. Mr Moodie is married with three children but said he had a strong female gender bias. "The sexes are not opposite, they're complementary," he said. |

I thought the HF aerial on NJ was for tracking rattlers over the hill in bandit county! |
I feel Mike Rondot captures the essence of an aircraft - the movement, the whole experience. Off the top of my head I have four of his prints in my house - Gazelle over Salisbury Plain (personal connection to the pilot flying the study aircraft), Concorde Farewell (I splashed out for a remarque), Jaguars over Kilduff - signed by Boscombe Down test pilots who've flown the Jag, and one of a Hawker Hunter.
If you're in the Pewsey area you could do worse than pop in to Strategic Art on the high Street and see what Dave W has in stock ! |
Oscar Bravo - are they all oil patch machines ?
|
Flying S - They are part of the ERA sightseeing fleet based at Juneau in Alaska. They run tours up onto the Mendenhall Glacier as well as other places.
Ned |
are they based there all year round Ned, or just for the season ?
( keep the pics coming Ned ! :) ) |
