[center]This humongous beast of a helicopter landed just yesterday evening, which i missed due to bus times >:( but mic managed to capture. Well it was still there today and these are some of the photos of it, from ringside this time

This was taken from further back than you may expect, full wideangle and the like, and still only just fits in the frame

Just for size comparison

Flown in the back of those a few times, and yeah, we like to say it's like "flying in a charter bus" because of it's huge size.

Nice pictures, they really capture the size of it
