Heli-Ops Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 They have three of them and are used for all sorts of Police work. They dont seem to do normal patrol type work like the US or Europe its more special operations type work and supporting the Government.

Robbie Driver Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Neville, Was interested if you have any pictures of R44 operators like Brazakka's that you could post, I know you did an article on him a while back but I have misplaced it. Also, the pictures from eveyone are great, maybe I will post a few sometime. RD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heli-Ops Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Robbie Driver - Someone else shot those of Brazakkas R-44 but will see if he will post them. I have some of an R-44 here in Kiwiland but thats about it of that make and model. If I do shoot some will post them here. Few more from around the traps.

Two CHL machines refuelling in the alpine near Seymour Arm, BC Helifor's Chinook took a break from logging to work on the McGillivray Lake Fire near Chase, BC last summer A Northern Mountain 205 apparently had hydraulic problems while filling its belly tank. Sitting on initial attack in Manitoba. Hopefully, this lightning strike will create some work for us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzy the Flying Buddha Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 4 of LAPD's Astar's on their rooftop helipadMyself (white shirt) with one of the pilots for Long Beach Police Dept and their EC130... (what's really annoying is I had around 130 hours, and he only had 60 at the time and he's flying that while I'm stuck in the 300cb, so unfair) :down: LA County Fire Dept's Firehawk. A nicely painted blackhawk modified with extended struts, winch, and 1000 gal. tank. (All the pilots there are really high time pilots, like over 10000)San Diego Sheriff's MD500 hanging out on LAPD's rooftop. Notice the tail rotor sticking out over the roof, makes me wonder about preflight. :: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
