Was down hanging around my flying club, Three Wings at KDBR, and met some great pilots from Heliflite (http://www.heliflite.com/).  I showed up just after one of their S-76's dropped off parts and maintainers to fix their Bell 430.  Seems they had an EMU go south on the starboard engine.  Took them about three hours to swap the part and get it airworthy again, and they were off the ground and back to Newark, NJ.

The last one is a US Heli S-76 getting ready for the next day of flying around the NYC airports.

Glen I like that S-76 on take off. Here are a couple of mine from a recent trip to KDBR. The 2nd and 3rd are of an attempt to pick up a sign. I had to leave before he was successful.

Thanks....they are the Cadillac of rotorcraft.

Kewl Agro/Tow plane shots Kev....Any one know the make/model on that aircraft?

I love watching those banner tow guys, diving in, grabbing that banner and then a steep climb out.  I have not been down there on the weekends to catch them yet.

This is about as general as it gets, blimps, jets and experimentals all in one easy shot.  I am not sure what the Swing Vote is all about but I do know the Gay Pride Parade was on for today?
