Excellent shots, Zdenek! I'm glad you started a new helicopter thread.
That Border Patrol OH-6 shot is great. Hard to believe they're still using them.
Authorities are working to figure out the cause of a helicopter crash that killed two people near Black Canyon City.
The small, experimental aircraft crashed about 1:30 p.m. Friday. The victims' names were not immediately available.
Picture was on TV I thing channel 5.

This was around 3:30pm (I was still waiting on Hornets). They came in to pick up that guy in the backseat, Joe McG. said he had a badge on his belt (either ATF or DEA, I don't remember which he said). They came back about an hour later (when I got this shot) to drop him off. They never shut down or took on any fuel.
They way they are looking at me I think they all have camera/lens envy!

Here's a link to a video I shot yesterday of a helicopter stringing a powerline across the Rio Grande River. It in an environmentally sensitive area, hence the need for the helicopter. I have some photos I'll upload later of a guy being long lined in to hook up the pullies you see here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK0vEWDBLo0
Lines were getting strung like that 2 weeks ago next to my friends house out in Florence, when I saw them doing it, it was too far away to get any photos, weird that would posted after I just saw it being done.

SabreCat HD TwinStar lifting off at Falcon Field to film the departure of Sentimental Journey. Not sure what the full story is, but these guys flew a few times on Saturday, and filmed SJ on two of those flights.

Care Flight 2 (yes, it's 2 not 1 as it says on the tail) lifting after refueling at DVT. Double beacon flash!
Note the way the white stripe on the fuselage continues all the way to the little strut that protects the tail boom from ground contact.

Has anybody heard anything about Phoenix PD getting a new helicopter? N357FB is listed by the FAA as a 2010 model registered to American Eurocopter.
It doesn't have a FLIR (at least not yet) but it does have a white cylindrical device that looks like the ones mounted on Civil Air Patrol planes.

Very well captured Joe. There's something about the rotor droop pointing at the camera that adds a nice dynamic. Well Seen...
A pair of Sikorsky Sky Cranes fighting the Eagle Rock fire June 2010. These were taken at Kaibab Lake near Williams, AZ. The red one got a little low and washed his wheels. The orange one's tilt shows the effect of 30 to 40 mph winds, making a steady hover very difficult while loading.
About all I can say is......WOW!
This is not a technically good photo, but it does show the courage of the pilots flying these fires!!! He disappeared into the smoke to make the drop, it seemed like a long time, but probably not more than a minute or two. The wind was blowing 50 mph and embers were starting fires 2 miles in front of the fire.

While visting my mom in the burn center at the Maricopa County Hospital I decided to bring my camera along and was surprised to find a very photo friendly helipad by the emergency entrance and got some great shots so in the event my mom is undergoing a procedure or is not up for guests I hopefully can click off a few more shots

Helicopters, Inc., which leases helicopters to many of the TV news organizations nation-wide has recently set up a base in the industrial complex just northwest of DVT. That complex has hangars and a taxiway that crosses a road and enters the airport through a gate (although that doesn't affect the helicopters). Two or three local news copters are based there. On the radio, they say they are going to or from "Heli Inc."

These are all of the Phoenix PD aircraft that I have seen and photographed. The newest of these is 357, which is a little over a year old. I spend a lot of time at Deer Valley Airport, which is their base. If there is a new A119, they aren't flying it much, as I haven't seen it. Maybe they're replacing the 109.

This helicopter is equipped with what I believe are wire cutters/deflectors above and below the cockpit area, on the skids, and in front of the windscreen. I assume this is to protect them in case they fly into power lines.
It also has large dust filters (I think) in front of the engine intakes.

Yup. You'll see 'em on H-58s quite a bit, and I think older Army AH-1 variants had them as well.

Kaman Husky - Taken east of I-10 a little north of Tucson. It was lifting an air conditioning unit to the roof of an industrial building. Very quiet (no tail rotor and large diameter lightly loaded rotors) and nimble too.

Two of them out there today, including the red one above. Neither are ex-military as far as I can tell.
This used to have "Omniflight" on the side. Now it says "Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center," which is in Sun City West. Small letters say it's operated by Air Methods. I wonder if Air Methods parked the MBB BK 117 that Native was flying that had Banner Del Webb on it.

Chris, N2773H started out with the Air Arm of the Dominican Republic as serial '3027' before it came back to the USA as N2773H (that was also its pre-delivery test registration). Also was registered HI-732SP for a while before it came home. C-GFHA, on the other hand, has always been a civil bird.

Thanks! I knew it had been registered in the DR, but I didn't know it was assigned to their military.
C-GFHA has been registered in at least seven different countries in its life!
I spent the better part of this month looking for an interesting helo shoot for the AzAP Photo Challenge #22: Helicopters in Flight. Never did see anything that tickled my fancy until this evening - too late for the challenge ;D
I heard the Mesa PD boys in a holding pattern near by and went into my back yard to take a look. Ran back into the house and grabbed my camera and fired off a few quick bursts before they headed to the barn. Got very lucky with the light and the sky. BTW, I shot this at ISO 1250. These modern sensors are very efficient.

Caught this guy yesterday when I was taking a walk around Coburg, Germany. Eurocopter X3 hybrid, probably one of the strangest choppers I have ever seen.

Jay,
What lens are you using for the cockpit shots?

Jay,
What lens are you using for the cockpit shots?
EF 17-40mm f/4L is my widest glass but I'm on APS-H which is a 1.3X Crop so I'm not getting the full benefit.
Beastly, Too...

Very nice image Scott. Not our typical harsh summer lighting and the shadows don't interrupt the image dramatically. In addition, a terrific location for the shoot. Did you fly in with the helo or meet them onsite? Also, is this MD one of Flight Trails Helicopters out of Falcon? Seems like I've seen this one (or one very much like it) in their yard. Well done sir.
Thanks Jeff! Yes, it is one of Flight Trails' helos. They just re-built it and are selling it. They flew me out to that location to do some work for another firm.

^^^^ Very cool monochrome treatment Chris. I like how the fuselage has a soft glow that contrasts nicely against the background.
I'll second that motion! Also like the composition with the one blade out in the negative space. The photo makes the helo look very insect-like.

Awesome shot Harvey! I really like that formation...nice catch!
Thanks Steve, I wasn't on the base when I took this. These people didn't seem to want their picture taken.
Want to throw this out there to the group...
A friend contacted me about helping him find pics of a particular helicopter he is building an RC model of for the scale masters competition coming up later this year. Got me thinking about how to use the network of friends who are into photography and aviation. So this is a test run of how things might go.
He is looking for a Sikorsky H-34/S-58 in the Coast Guard white/red or red/white scheme or similar brightly colored. Doesn't have to be Coast Guard but must be a brightly colored rescue variant. So the first part of this is searching the memory banks and then hard drives to find a pic of one of these birds.
The next part, once that pic is deemed the correct bird, is to do walk-around and detail shots of that heli to document that what my friend is building is correct in every way. We would supply a list of shots needed...about 20 total. Not artsy stuff...just documenting.
There was a company years ago that supplied these photo packs to "fixed-wing" scale modelers but has since gone away. I don't recall ever seeing helis in their catalog.
There is a small amount of money to be made...and I mean small. There is, however, a large niche to be filled in the RC community for this type of work.
Please PM me if you are interested or have access to the heli mentioned above. Other birds he mentioned needing photo packs for are the Apache A and D models, and the Eurocopter AS350 in as crazy a color scheme as you can find.
The RC versions BTW are huge! His contest-winner from last year, a Bell 47, is almost 8 feet long with a 10 foot rotor!!
Just did a quick search online and didn't find any HUS/H-34s in the hi-viz USCG markings. Did find a few HO4/H-19s in that livery and some black-and-white shots of USCG H-34s in what appears to be gray or silverish paint, but none that fall in line with what you're looking for. If there were any assigned to San Francisco, Bill Larkins might have shot them back in the day, but I'd imagine his shots would be black and white.
Thanks Joe!
I knew this would be a challenge!

+1 Jay - impressive conversion sir.
Definitely a "spotter" type of photograph, but I never could catch this bad-boy in the air - poor timing on my end. I still wanted a photo as it is the best looking law enforcement helo I've ever seen. Was working out of Willie at the first of the year. While I can't be certain, I believe the pilot and crew were learning their new bird. Joe said they'd go on the east side of 12L/30R and practice repelling and rescue recovery. I'm sure the AZ weather was much more accommodating for their practice sessions than they would have experienced during January in Flathead County, Montana ;)

I've had lesser results with half that focal length and twice as fast a shutter speed!
Was driving by the airport (FFZ) and noticed the MD guys practicing autos. Proof that having your camera with you at all times is a good thing!

Great shot Joe, I've always wanted to catch one of these guys in action. They do a lot of spraying here around Luke after dark. Great catch!
Along the same lines. Credit can go to Joe for suggesting risking our lives as this guy did hammerhead turns 75 feet over our heads and power lines. The things we do for a photo.
Fantastic shots Joe and Scott... I would say the results were well worth the risk. :)
Thanks Anna, inpires me to spend more time inhaling insecticide. Actually there was very little of that in this case due to favorable winds.

Saw this beautiful UH-1H parked at Pierce Airport, a small ag strip in Buckeye right along the 85 yesterday. I've always wanted to pull off there and shoot the crop dusters they have there, took a Huey to finally get me to do it. Ex-US Army bird, one of only 22 UH-1Hs converted to EH-1H communications jamming platforms. Went on to do law enforcement, rescue, and movie work before becoming a spray bird.
Quite a history! Great to see these veterans still in use even if it is spraying. Nice catch!
When I saw this my first thought was how much I'd love to catch it spraying, like that one JetRanger we saw in the fields south of Luke that one time.
That would be impressive!

That is a great shot. Has a very "Janes All the World's Aircraft, 1983 Edition" feel to it. Love it.

Can't say I know for sure what Bulgarian military photography looked like in 1983, but this had a certain "feel" to it... ;D
Reminds me of Red Dawn. The Original not the remake..... Wolverines!!!!!
