About a month ago I had the chance to go to the range.
 A-10s were practicing that day.

Smoke is from the gun being fired.

Final flyover

I had the opportunity to take a little hop in an Eurocopter EC120B owned by Indiana Helicopters in July. Only the 2nd time I've gotten to fly in a helicopter, the 1st being in 1991 when I did a shift with the local air ambulance, Samaritan which is a (Eurocopter) Dauphin.

This one is a little more truck oriented.




I may be an amateur, but this is a perfect head shot. LOL

Here are a few from the EAA convention at Oshkosh this past Saturday.




Warning: may not be politically correct

I'd fly 10,000 miles to smoke a camel!

Ha, I can beat that,

This morning I saw a video on TV of a tractor trailer flying. I didn't catch the details, I just caught a glimpse of the video, ABC News. It wasn't pretty but they walked away.

Saw a video clip on TV of a DC 10 flying as a low level water bomber. Scarey!:w00t:

Yah, they've had some "issues" and such, but they're still plodding along. Neptune has configured a BAe-146, and has it on contract, but it'll never take the place of the P2V's in my heart.

I was put on this earth to do a certain amount of things....right now, I'm so far behind I could never die!

It is amazing those are still out being flown hard like that. I know the Forest Service is getting more and more concerned about using elderly aircraft for a lot of work. The Canadians are employing some pretty modern and capable stuff.

It's that time of year again.... so far, nothing close to us, but Neptune's been getting some workouts.........
