That is a GREAT picture! I really love seeing those real "helicopters at work" pictures on the thread!
Your picture makes that other picture of a CH46 in Afghanistan picking up passengers like a piece of cake, at least the CH46's guys had a place to set their wheels on! Plus I am sure the Autopilot/SAS on the 46 is better and made it much more easier.
Well I am now off to the Carribean until the 10th, I hope find some other great pictures when I come back.

Just another day in paradise.
Believe it or not, this was a posting for some of the troops!
So we just had to pay them a visit of course!
The keen eyed amongst you will notice the engine cowlings removed. This was done at base because of a faulty catch.

Thank you to all who contribute to one of the highlights of my month. I really look forward to seeing these photos, the clarity, composition, and color is amazing. And the subject matter isn't too bad either. Especially this lovely young lady.

Mt. Kenya (17,057ft) in the background of the HLS.
A lovely backdrop for a few 'wets' at the end of the day.
On the way up the mountain.
12,000ft 1013 (FL120!)

Makes for interesting approaches, well, the last 30ft anyway!
Its dark out there, away from the perimeter lights!

Fame at last!! Your namesake in writing for you, Captain Hollywood!
The marine layer spilling over the hills at Monterey Bay, just south of San Francisco.
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!
A rather undignified end......
A million thanks to John Eacott and Heliport.
