Here is a regular at SMO, N110E.   

[Josh]

VERY nice.

[NikonGuy]

Ok here is a Robinson 44 on his approach!

Looks like a great spot for helis.

Normally helicopters are not allowed to park there and they are very strict about that, but since is a PD chopper that SMPD is renting.... They got the A-OK to park there. Santa Monica Airport has now reduced the helicopter capacity on the south city helipad to 1 helo. I think I just got so lucky that I was there.     Too BAD I didn't have my 18-55mm lens to show you guys how close that helicopter came to me when he was hovering.

Ok here is an MD 902 Exlporer at SMO.   

[Midnight Mover]

Nice 

[Josh]

Never was a fan of it.

[NikonGuy]

Thnx Robert    What is it that you don't like the 902 Josh? That thing is HUGE! I like the NOTAR system personally, safer while hovering low to the ground.

Just don't like the look. I would take an MD-520N over that any day. The 902 is like the Scion of the heli world... Ugh.

[NikonGuy]

lol I just like big helicopters just like the AB139.   

[Josh]

My all time favorite has to be the OH-6A Cayuse.
