Nothing too spectacular, but a couple of photos and a vid from a flight I did last week. Pretty nice day and started by landing at some LZs in Imperial County, CA. We ended up at Camp Pendleton doing some work there.
All I had on me was my iPhone, so the quality isn't the greatest. Here's a video as I was hanging out the window clearing the helo as we came into land. The guy at the controls was learning how to do this for the first time so his approach wasn't as "smooth" as it could have been. Still a fun day...more so when you go up front to do the stick-monkey stuff.
Nice, can't beat a good choppa. Is your 'cab' an SH-60? Flying in a fixed wing is fun, but being able to land on any cleared ground anywhere within reason is more fun. Oh and the stick monkey stuff is waaaay more twitchy

It is a SH-60...this one is a Romeo, but I've flown Bravos in the past. And they're not as twitchy as you think. The computer can hover itself if you let it.

I'm just lucking enough that they pay me to continue to do this. But thanks for the thanks.
