I flew up to Payson this morning for breakfast with some friends and found a Erickson Air Crane there.
I dont have a awesome camera like you guys or the skills to touch them up like you do so here they are just straight from my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V. I did get to get up in it and look around so I have a couple cockpit shots too. :-)

































Cheers,
Chris
