Hey Josh I forgot to tell you that he sold that helicopter a couple of months ago and bought a new EC-120. The cool part is that they both have the same paint.... black and gold. I hope to fly with him pretty soon and take some cool pic's.

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.   >:(

Flying Egg
Little Bird
Cayuse
Loach
Scout

I believe flying egg is a generic term for all of them applied to all models, the others are related to specific models/configs.

Like pavehawk, jayhawk, seahawk, blackhawk.

I was out fishing today and got buzzed by this 22. At first I thought it was some sort of law enforcement bird coming to tell us we were in a restricted area or something and then I saw the pontoons. I guess they go around and take shots of private boats and sell you pictures afterward. Interesting.

  Thats about a mile outside of Perris Airport. They were training pilots in Long-line and vertical reference. Today is the last day they will be there. They have another class next month.

  If you want to take pics just stop by , they would be OK with it.

Private 222s  , on wheels in particular are getting very rare as bell is pricing parts so high that 222s are being sold as parts birds.

They doubled the price of main rotor blades a couple years ago.......Bell wants the 222s all replaced with new 429s.
Sort of like Beech and the Starship, but they bought the from the owners. Except Rutan.

Sorry, I really should have asked. At one point, they had one of the doors off and laying on the ground, and so my sole conversation with them was to let them know we were going to be doing a ground run at power and didn't want them to have their door go skidding across the ramp (412s make a lot of wind!). If they come back, I'll ask, though!

I experienced one of those "I wish I had my camera with me" moments this morning and actually had my camera with me!
While driving into work this morning I was surprised to see a low-flying Sikorsky just off my right heading towards downtown. He eventually made a wide bank and landed just off the freeway near the Commerce Casino. Turns out he was there to lift what looked like A/C units on top of the new Costco being built there.

Skip I was looking for you. Were you there?

If you are coming from LAX, take the 405 North to the 10 West, exit on Bundy Dr South. Stay on Bundy Dr, make a right on Airport Ave, then another right on Donald Douglas Loop S, you will see the Administration building and there is a flag pole right infront of it... just park anywhere. Take the elevator to the 3rd floor (Observation Deck) and I will be right there.   ;D
