I agree.... Those postings are way too large.

Yes, but civilian versions do it. Columbia helicopters did something
interesting with one of theirs

Thanks Paul and Jimmy (for the repost)


I downloaded Jim's smaller size first, then went back for Paul's original
pic.



As well as resizing my repost, I've played around a little with the colour
balance, to remove the orange discolouring that everything in the '70s had
back then.


Looks like someone in the triple deuce broke through the hard outer layer to
find that soft creamy centre. I've done it with a Land Rover - but
never had a Chinook to pull me out though.


Otherwise, it's time to break out the spades ....

Aviation Center put out a NOTAM back in 1970 (I think) prohibiting use
of slings for towing, etc and only to be used for sling loading static
cargo. I seem to remember this went out after a couple of CH47's pulled
themselves into the ground with fatal results. I saw one of these
situations outside of DaNang in 1967 or 68 when a Big Hook was trying to
lift an M551 Sheridan and just about didn't make it. The pilot
attempted a sort of "rolling" lift and evidently didn't know that the
track's were locked. He dragged it a couple hundred feet before the
load master pulled the pin and let the sling go. Made quite a crash
when the M551 set back down from about 25 feet. Wish I had had a movie
camera!

Cheers,

Dave

Why such ridiculously huge file sizes? Irfanview is a good freebie if you
need to manipulate file sizes and compressions for images.

Great pics Paul, you shouldn't feel discouraged by some of the responses
here - although your pics were unusually large.


Just another tip on technique, when you're reposting an image - it's handy
to put the word "repost" or similar in the subject line - otherwise people
will download the identical image again.


Are they your pics, do you have more ?


There's a couple of ex-113 jockeys here and speaking for myself, I really
enjoy seeing unusual pics of them. Generally speaking, ANY on-topic
pic of a '113 is unusual in an aviation newsgroup. Like a pig, it's an
unlikely bird.

Thanks Chuck, it's hard to guess the actual shade of green the carriers
were, mine was always dust coloured.

Howdy Dave,

I scanned those pictures for a friend at work, they were taken by his
cousin (one if the track drivers)
and he wanted a electronic copy of them.

I routinely work with large photo's so I guess I didn't think to resample
them and make them smaller before uploading them.

Thanks for the tips....

Paul

113's make good ice coolers too....
