FlyNHighNFast Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 As promised. Pics of my air tour, courtesy of Goldy's generosity. Startup. On the go. Crosswind past the tower at VNY. Each of those tall buildings has a heliport. Heading to the coast via the canyons. Pepperdine. Tennis anyone? Miss J. Lopez was not in the pool that day. I have more, but I'll have to add them later.

e36_m3_turbo Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Been on PCH hundred of times and have never had a view like that of Malibu. Very nice pictures. Where does J. Lopez live anyways? I would like to take a demo flight. Might have to arrange something with Goldy or someone in my area someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helo08 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) Those are nice I espcially like the pic where your flying to the coast. That looks like a good computer backgroud pic~ Thanks for sharing Edited May 11, 2008 by helo08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldy Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Where does J. Lopez live anyways? Oh now, those are secrets we like to keep. Actually I was out over that same route today..typical May/June haze..While manuevering so I wouldnt get blasted by a B17 turbulence....yes we had a B 17 in the airspace giving rides...I spotted a house fire in one of the canyons that had just started. Kinda cool to call in a Sheriffs ship and direct them over to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like a good computer backgroud pic~ Thanks for sharing Lil mountain flying there....its actually Topanga Canyon, top left of the screen is Santa Monica Beach. Had a great time showing Marlon the finer points of Los Angeles. You should ask him to post the pix of Playboy mansion...well then again, this is a G rated website.

FlyNHighNFast Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 My Playboy Mansion pics are blurry. I call turbulence, not shaking hands. Heading toward Malibu Pier. Malibu Pier. Santa Monica. The Governator's pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda cool to call in a Sheriffs ship and direct them over to it. Awesome pictures. In a lot of ways I miss flying there. Thanks for the memories. Goldy, glad to see you avoided the B 17, they come into LGB every year doing the rides. I kinda pissed the pilot off last year while landing. I did everything I could to keep the downwash to a minimum but he still wasn't happy. The FBO parked them with in 50' of our helipads. The fire season is upon us. While flying several years ago I spotted a fire in San Diego. It had just started. I made a call to SEE tower where the County Sheriff helicopters are based at. With in minutes I saw them on scene putting the fire out. Don't hesitate if you see something guys, call it in! Post more pics if you can, those were great!

Goldy Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Where are the pics from the house fire? Priorities Goldy!!!!! Yeah, I know. The house fire was a couple days after this flight so no pix's ! It was up in a Hollywood Hills canyon though so the whole world responded. As I was landing at VNY about 6 minutes later....the LA City Fire ship and 2 ENG ships were taking off for the location. I caught it pretty early though, the 2 other guys in the bird couldnt see it, so I flew over and you could see the smoke coming out of the attic vents. Just too bad I wasnt flying anything with 350 gallons of water on board ! Goldy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyNHighNFast Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Hey, wait a minute. Where's that shot of the two great looking guys in front of an R 44 ??? Ok, ok... I usually don't post pics when I forget to suck in the gut, but I'll make an exception in this case. Goldy and I. Goldy and Patrick the CFI.

FlyNHighNFast Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 A few more. L.A.F.D. Ship on the ramp at VNY. Another canyon shot. Another shot of the coast. Heading down the ramp past a row of warbirds, after Goldy was nice enough to let a C-172 taxi to the run up area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldy Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I love the fact that Patrick is standing on the skids so he looks a lil taller ! I guess 6-5 is intimidating ! Great shots. Thanks again Marlon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
