Gregg - Nice pics. Good to see the Y getting as much exposure as the Z. By the way watch out for the upcoming issue of Check Six, as the Z makes the front cover.

 

Tell Hoss and the guys there I said hi.

 

Regards

Some pics from my seismic days.

 

One of the landing sites.  Once all the bags have been dropped off, I had to wait for them to lay out the equipment, and shoot.

Loading up the heli with my bags.  We're finished at this site, and moving to the next.  The motel loved having the helicopter parked there every night.

In this one, I'm only using a 25' line to load the truck.  We were on the prairies, and they let me play with the short line.

Just another routine day in the Hills today, We were called for a  Class D fixed line rescue on Mt Andromeda (11,320') in Jasper National Park AB Canada.  (I gave my Camera to a Park Warden for these great shots ! )

 

Heading up to the site at 9,500'.

EMS decided to use the aircraft for transportation, due to the seriousness of the Injury (bad Femur break) so we flew the 85 NM to Banff Hospital.

Sunrise Airlines BK117 coming in to land at mountain pad. Used this as a camera ship to shoot the KA32s that VIH were using on the Hoping Dam project near Hualein in Taiwan.

Aspiring Helicopters AS350 sitting atop a mountain ridge while the maintenance tech fixes a repeater. It was bloody cold and windy. Airspeed indicator in the helo read 55knots while it was sitting there and it was -4 degrees. I wasnt outside for long.

RNZAF UH-1H putting on a demo at the recent Ardmore Airshow. The handling display of this helo was very impressive.
