Plane Spotting Pics Taken From My Home

Postby dnkiwi » Thu Dec 29, 2016 1:33 pm

Hi Guys here are a few pics of helicopters in action taken by Myself at my home these helicopters are regulars to my area with the exception of the Otago Rescue Bk 117 which flys over my place on a daily basis but is very tricky to catch a pic of due to the speeds it reaches

Great photos Jas , that R44 is giving you some great entertainment :) One thing I did notice was spray from one boom only while he whiz's along the gause hedge line.

Hi Ian the pilot flying was awesome to watch and once he seen me taking pics of the chopper he started showing off his skills with a series of mid air turns and banks it from time to time we also have as350 and a bell jetranger that also join in
