Flying

Helicopters are cool. Flying them has taken me to a number of great places throughout the world. This picture is of N911GH aka "Barney", or the "Ronald McDonald Machine". She's a good ol bird, an early A model Sikorsky S76.

On top of the upper pad at the Cleveland Clinic.

Afternoon maintenance at the hangar.

My friend Mike flies the "Air Bear" for the Akron Children's Hospital here in Ohio.

These guys had just hoisted a heart attack victim off of a freighter on Lake Erie.

The Fenestron Tail Rotor is ENORMOUS on these machines.

I watched this guy sling an 8 bladed saw from an MD500, looks fun.
