Hey Guys

Give me a good paint program, and I can make a 205 do that.  Without the rotors turning even.  Neat shot though.  Can''t say that I''d want to do something like that tho.  Makes it harder to hit the smoking tree while in that attitude.

 

Cheers

Without giving anything away the shot wasnt taken in Canada or the US or even Australia/NZ.

 

Have a whole series of this sequence and one that is even more over the top than that one

 

Wont say who or where but is going to be in the mag in an upcoming issue. I have the OK from the pilot concerened and his bosses arent on the mailing list for the mag.

 

RandyG - Did you send off that email to Johnny Mac. His 214s may end up in Canada for some fire fighting in the off season. Drop me a PM and will fill you in on the details.

Quite obviously this guy hasn''t heard of "servo transparicy." It only takes a little to overload the hydraulic pump and Whamo...Locked controls all the way to the ground!!

If you look at the haze below the aircraft, I believe this really did happen, and I''d never question an Astar''s ability to do such a maneuvre.......The consequecnces of doing it wrong are fairly severe though....
