Great place to photograph helicopters, they teach pilots how to fly there, so one taking off & landing all day

When there is a bad accident or someone is very sick out here in the desert Mercy Air comes out to pick them up and transport them to the hospital. When they come out here they land on the baseball field that is right next door to my house.

I really hope the name is not a copyright infringement, but this pun is totally intended.
The model has openable cockpit, openable (and huge) side hatches and rear ramp, rotatable wings with rotatable propellers and (sadly) non-folding landing gear. Also there's a turret on its underside, so it is a legit flying tank.
Just a shot of a helicopter just taken off from a garden over on the other side of the railway line - they do have big gardens over there . It always strikes me how helicopters dip or lean over to one side when taking off or landing .
Grab shot having just heard it start up and luckily the camera with the telephoto is kept handy for diving out to capture aircraft going over that are of interest . Trouble is when the Spitfire goes over it has gone by the time I get outside - it ofen passes over on it's way to Blackbushe or Kemble .
Snapped this picture on vacation at Emerald Isle NC. Emerald Isle is about 20 miles north of Camp Lajune, one of two Marine training facilities for marine recruits. The helicopter was about 200 feet directly above the shoreline.

Shot from the ground laying on my back as the pilot took passes over me.
Fairly dangerous as they were low to the ground and the pilot was being repeatedly strobed in the face.

Pocket Wizard triggered SB-800 on the dash gelled 1 CTB and another behind the pilot gelled 1 CTO.
I kinda hate this one just because it shows me how sharp the others aren't. It was tough because you have to shoot at 1/50th - 1/100th to get good rotor blur. And they were moving fast...
I like how this looks air-to-air. It's not. Perry just dropped the nose and did some low, fast fly-bys, which made it look as if we were up there with him because there is no reference point to reveal the dipped nose.

recently I needed a helicopter as a birthday present. luckily the Italian convention was just a week before my deadline, there I met Gerwin Sturm and Gerwin can design basically anything you ask him for. he's a wonder :-))
so he whipped up this cute little helicopter and taught it to me. For the rendition in this photo I glued red tissue paper onto the silver side of a 35cm of foil paper. it folded like a charm ;-)
Word is this was the last WTI for the CH-53D, which is too bad. Looks like this was a recent HMH-362 bird, as the marking on the nose looks like a scrubbed-off "Ugly Angels" logo. Yuma, Arizona.
