The Cyclone is a light helicopter used extensively in south-east asia by the oceanian navy. Its exceptional speed and maneuverability is praised by pilots and its formidable weapon systems have already earned it a legendary reputation among oceanian infantrymen.

The iconic Coney Island Cyclone Roller Coaster or simply the Cyclone, is one of the oldest roller coasters in the United States still in operation and opened on June 26, 1927 owned by Jack and Irving Rosenthal just adjacent to the New York Aquarium. The Rosenthal’s saw an opportunity as two other roller coasters had recently opened in Coney Island and were having great success, the Thunderbolt in 1925 and the Tornado in 1926. Kentucky native Vernon Keenan was pegged to design the Rosenthal’s coaster and Harry C. Baker led the construction which was done and supplied by local companies. When it was finished the 2,640 foot track featured a total of 12 drops, multiple fan turns with its highest drop at 85 feet and a maximum speed of 60 miles per hour.
As I’ve chronicled before about the Coney Island area in Brooklyn, in the 1960’s a great decline began and in the 1970’s after purchasing the Cyclone for 1 million dollars New York City sought to expand the adjacent New York Aquarium and the wrecking ball was the plan for the Cyclone using eminent domain. The “Save the Cyclone” civil campaign put a stop to the Cyclone’s destruction, and Astroland Amusement Park next door took over running the coaster for the City of New York. It remains a symbol and anchor of the Coney Island community’s effort to rise from the ashes of its past and at the same time links the area back to when it was a summer resort area for New York City. It’s often referred to as the ‘Mother of American Roller Coaster Culture’ or the ‘Big Momma’ of Coney Island, and many coaster connoisseurs trek to Coney Island to experience the thrill of the old wooden coaster, which was declared a New York City Landmark in 1988 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Astroland sadly shuttered it doors, but the Cyclone being that it is a landmark owned by New York City continued its operation. Most of Astroland has been reincarnated as Luna Park ( re-using the name of an old Coney Island amusement park from the early 20th century ) and have taken over the management of the Cyclone. This was shot on Kodachrome 200 film with Minolta X-700 SLR with Minolta MD 35-70mm F3.5-4.5 Lens, scanned on a Plustek 7500i scanner using Silverfast, processed in Adobe Photoshop Elements taken in August 2007 during that summer’s AVP tournament at Coney Island.

First time this summer in Coney island beach, Welcomed by Mammatus clouds next to Cyclone rollercoaster ride, before the storm hit us.
With rotor-tip vortices picked out by the afternoon light Royal Canadian Air Force CH-148 Cyclone 148811 passes South abeam Shoreham as 'Can Force 0411' while out on a second detail from a naval vessel out in the Channel
This is the military version of the Sikorsky S-92 and earlier she made a trip North East to the Seaford area before turning West along the coast and with a turn South at the Solent, made a circuit of the Isle of Wight and then back to the mother-ship
This 2nd sortie was similar initially, but having gone East of me again I assumed she's again return along the coast but no.......
Having taken my eye off the ball, a bit later, she was suddenly within a couple of hundred feet of the house and made a low fast pass across the Airport before turning South West to re-join the ship
Unfortunately, I wasn't quick enough!

One Mile Beach, near Cape Hawke Surf Club, New South Wales.
The surf was running high with the current cyclone up in Queensland.
Wild crashing waves, and mist.
"Coastal regions from K'gari (Fraser Island) to northern New South Wales can expect heavy surf and dangerous winds over the coming days as ex-Tropical Cyclone Seth continues to sit off the Queensland coast." ABC news

Just a small tweak to the Cyclone: I rebuilt its taillights. The previous version used transparent red lightsaber beams friction-fitted with rubber pieces, which had some issues. It was a bit unstable, the transparent red didn't stand out enough, and the lights were too close together. I fixed all of that!
