Now this is cool!

Wow!

Thank you both, I was going through some of my some of my shots from after Hurricane Sandy and found some I really liked, but had not shared.

And we now know why you say, 'I have no idea where I am now.'

Cool perspective, but I keep looking at those exposed wires.

I know that makes them easy to inspect and repair, but it worries me.

I always seem to be on the go...

The electrical wiring looks exposed, but in order to damage it when loading cargo/passengers you would have to also damage the air frame (metal body) of the helicopter. We do have sound proofing/insulation we can install, but it takes away from how much weight we can carry.

The two thick metal cables are there to keep the loading ramp at the right angle when we use the tail gun (not mounted in this photo). And we can unhook them as needed to lower the ram all the way if needed.

Here's a photo with the ramp down with no gun:

I was teaching my assistant how to use fill-flash in harsh back-lit situations, so I grabbed my best friend and made him pose for a minute.

Hmmm... Looks like a 20mm. Does it have a detachable shoulder stock?

I love those SB 800's. So glad I bought 3, as I don't want the new Nikon flashes.

Man he looks young, to this old guy.

Yep, they are great flashes. I've got two, and one SB-600 - easy to set up a 3-point lighting kit anywhere with some wireless triggers. One of my 800's actually fell off a stand once, and broke in half - still worked though as the cables inside didn't snap. Super-glued it back together later and it works a charm, ha!

He is 27 just like me, but has always had a youngish features. We met in middle school and have been best friends ever since.

It's a .50 cal (12mm) machine gun. With a rate of fire of 1,200 rounds per min. It puts more rounds through it's single barrel then any 20mm weapon we use puts through one of it's barrels during the same time. (6 barrels @6,000 rounds per min= 1,000 rounds per barrel per min).

In short, it's very angry.

I forgot too add, there is no shoulder stock. Other aircraft that used the M60 machine gun did carry a "egress kit" that had a barrel, pistol grip, and buttstock to convert the weapon to something that could be shoulder fired in case of an emergency. But it shot a 7.62mm round, and would not have nearly the kick of a .50 cal.

sb800 is a pretty good flash, but I ended up like my sb24 better, so I sold the sb800. I don't need the "creative lighting" technology. The sb24 I bought in the 1990's replaced a vivitar 285hv, another nice flash.
