Wandered down to the waterfront this arvo, such a great day in Wgtn yet again. Lots of action around the Helipro base today, 3 parked up on the landing zone, another parked ourside the hangar door, and a forth arrived while I was trying to get away...

Dauphin..



BK117 parked behind Squirrel number 2...



Both...



Ever wondered what inside a squirrels exhaust looked like? Wonder no more...



Hughes 500 arrived carrying some guys from Airways...



"Err, H500 to base, we got some funny lookin guy taking our photo..."




And finally from our 'what are the chances' file, snapped this and was aware of a dark object flash past, when I looked at the shot I saw a pigeon had flown across my field of view. Amazing timing, perfectly centered in the vertical...

I keep saying this: Bird photographer

Metal birds perhaps...lol...not quite sure what it is with the feathered variety at the moment.

Nice photos

Thats not a pigeon, it's the new radio controlled version of the B-2. Just a new larger bomb bay they're trying out

they look like they've been crammed in there like sardines

Bums on $eat$...had a joyride in the Helitranz Squirrel the other day, it's a notional 6-seater but they've managed to convert the copilots area into 2 pax, for 7-up.
Although we were 8 sob, some guy brought his 2 little daughters who shared
It sure is cosy

That last shot is interesting.

Know the feeling:


Great collection by the way

I love the head on photo of HTP, looks like it might have been a bit of a tight squeeze in the front. I dont think Ive had the 'pleasure' of being squashed into a 500 like that.

Sardines comes to mind
