Every once in a while, we get to see a fairly rare sight in our area, but its not all that often that we get this kind of treat.....late in the day with the light starting to fail, a walk with Wendys dog, made me run home to grab my camera and come back to shoot this.......

Nice one Ken! Not one but two rare machines. 8-)

I'm not a great fan of helicopters but was always fascinated by the Kaman dual rotor system.

Certainly a nice Christmas find.

Is this the co-finder that was helping you?

This one used to be a regular fighting forest fires in the BC interior. Last I heard of this and other AN's belonged to McKenzie Helicopters. Looks nice in Heliquest livery now. Earns a fortune at $1600/hr.

You would want to hope that thoe's rotors never get out of sync :shock:

Keep smiling

I'm just wondering what would happen if the Rotor syncing gears in the gear box, lost a couple of teeth!

It all looks a bit dodgy to me!.... :shock: ....!

Paul....I worry about Helicopters.... :? ...... :lol: ....!
