Jungle Winch tng and Under Wires - quite a few images

Post by RichC » Thu Sep 20, 2012 11:01 pm

Spent Wednesday and Thursday in the company of some helicopters.
Wednesday had certain things not going to plan plus it was a tad busy with the lollipoppers and knowing it was going to be a 'quiet' day decided to go elsewhere to stumble on a few different things.

Bell 212 does a bit of jungle winch training....

Puma in very poor light...

Another Merlin in yet another confined area... so many to choose from it's unreal...

And in another

And a lost Squirrel.... evading the Bell 212 USL above it (out of shot unfortunately

Thanks for looking, battled poor light on Thursday and in parts, on Wednesday. Didn't come away with a lot but the type of training made up for it.

Fantastic flying skills.

Great photos too. How come some Merlins have those weird shaped noses?
