Just one I found today on my dad's old notebook. It's been some years since this one was taken by my dad (I guess it was digitalized from a slide - that's why it's that small) but I wanted to share what I'm doing from time to time during winter-season:

Italian 'Lama' chucking us out

Looks bloomin' dangerous to me. You wouldn't catch me doing that. :o

It's a good photo though. ;)

I agree with Doug. It's a fine bit of action that was captured there, but I'd rather be a spectator than a participant in this particular endeavor.....

btw: these italian pilots use to smoke all the time during flying... Wouldn't happen on the other side of the mountain - Swiss accuracy (AirZermatt)!

Great shot of a Bell 47 "Bubble Gum Machine"   :)

It just goes to show that "Helicopters" are the true flying machines.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
