I might go out to Anaheim on Wed 2-18-09 to catch the helicopters flying in to the convention center.
It would be cool....But...Work and in the valley would never make it.
Me either. :'( Looks like fun though :D

You guys will have fun 8)
Cool.. Im going the first day, the 22nd. ;) and on the 18th for the arrival of the helo's.
Is tehre a list of what heli is coming? also where is a good place to shoot arrivals?
Hi commando, it all depends on each departments availability..
I see, is there a good place to shoot ? or do i just have to see where arrival is and shoot from the best spot i can find
I heard from out side, if you know where they are landing you could get some good shots with a telephotos. But then I have never been there. Fernando, any more suggestions?
There are a couple of Hueys a Super Huey , and a ex navy HH-1K in HAL-3 "Sea Wolves" markings that are supposed to arrive today @ French Valley from AZ. from Here they will fly over to the convention center tomorrow for display, I will find out what area the LZ will be located
I'll be there Sunday on a press pass (Aerotech). I'll be wearing a Mercy Air shirt, don't hesitate to introduce yourself if you see me!

I found this link of helos arriving at Heli Expo

Cool link. I saw a link yesterday to the 2008 in Houston TX.
Yeah its a cool link... I couldn't make out there to take pic's, it would of been fun but too busy at work... It would be cool being out there when they all depart.
Lots of great helos......even a brand new National Gusrd UH-60M that flew in from Wisconson.
Finally saw one........LA Sheriff on the side would look nice.

Hey if anyone goes...and if they have cool stickters(zaps), if could pick up an extra for me? I'll pay for postage.

A few from yesterday...
Good looking pic's Alan! That EC175 is real cool. <heliguy>
Unfortunately, it's only a show mockup!
LOL! <laughing> Kinda seemed like it...
Looks cool ;)
Nice pics!
Are the departures tomorrow? I wondering if some are going to refuel at Fullerton before heading back home?
They are today according to the schedule. G, you should head down there since it close to your hood. I have a DDS appt, darn!!! :'(
Instead of getting shots of this <heliguy> I was at work doing this <prog>
Take off yesterday evening after HAI.....glass cockpit S-61N.

Nice one Skip, guess they took off late? or this was just one of the later ones? Did you get the C-130 at VNY?
Very nice! What were your setting Skip?
Nikon D40X was ISO 400 .7 Exposure comp 1/30 speed with the cheap but very nice 55-200MM VR kit lense.
I have no complaints with this D40X....low light has excellent quality.
Did you or anyone get a pic of the Erickson CEO at his news conference, or in front of the S-64?
Heres one
