J3, kind sir. I downloaded, joined, extracted and viewed all of your efforts with great appreciation. Thank you for all your new millenium work, as contrasted to the late 1980's calcification found glaringly in this group. As for the curmudgeons herein, pay them no heed. Not only do they still...

Not the best images; but neither the camera or the operator were up to anything better.

This one shows the control tower for the 'heliport' (a football field). Joy rides were being conducted by several helicopters, including the Ecuriel; Jet Ranger; EC-120 Colibri and an EC-135.

This is an RAAF rescue helicopter; it left straight after the F/A-18 Hornet display. I couldn't hang around for the F-111 due to transport issues, but I will next year.

Bell Jet Ranger from Professional Helicopter Services.

Another view of the RAAF Sikorsky S-76.

This was used for a joy flight for a young, wheelchair-bound boy. I hope he enjoyed the experience.

This Bell Jet Ranger was used for television work. You can see the camera dome on the right side.

This EC-135 was the noisiest of the lot! Even noisier than the S-76. It was absolutely stuffed with passengers. I've heard the price was $50 for a five-minute flight.

Pilots are getting younger and younger.... ;-) He couldn't be more than 14 months old.

Roulettes - I just couldn't get any good high-speed images - either of the Roulettes or the F/A-18. Damn disappointed with that. The camera has an optical viewfinder like my old Instamatic (what a difference!!!) and a small LCD screen which was just not bright enough for outside use.
