Sikorsky S92 Visiting Halifax Area

[Hover-Pig]

Motley crew indeed, I went to that place downtown Halifax last Friday evening and saw no-one! I did end up meeting several buds from work and stayed there a couple hours slugging some cool ones but I felt stood like a bad blind date.

We were all there, tucked away near the back, till about 11 pm

 

Sorry to have missed you, I haven't forgotten I owe you quite a few brews but we'll catch up!

[Rotorhead]

...And who's is the bald guy back in coach?     :up: ...

He's bald by choice, me on the other hand, I am getting there slowly. You should see him with a full head of hair, scares small children...

 

You should recognise this spot, RDM...

 

Rub-a-dub-dub...

[RDM]

Yep.........spent some time in there, contemplating if I really wanted to take that 10 minute drive the next day back to the Norwegian Torture Device.

Hey Roscoe you wanted a photo of me in the S92 to finally put a face to the handle, well here it is

 

I don't know if you commercial guys can appreciate it or not but it was really nice to fly without all my G.I. Joe gear on. I was dressed like a normal human being and comfortable. A beautifal fall day, machine flew well of course. I'll refrain from making comparissons though as our government is very twitchy about the MHP project.

OK, now I'm jealous. Haven't seen a grin that big on K.K.'s face since he got on the Twotter in Capure. This is the one and only time I wished I was crewing in Halifax. :up: Nice pics guys, how about some comments on how she flew.

no Idea about flying it from the front..Woulda loved a shot at it but don't have enough hours to be allowed a chance for that..... but was sure nice in the back.. quiet enough to not need a headset on and still be able to talk at normal levels. Nice roomy interior, can see why it'd be considered for the offshore.

 

Many thanks again to Vortex ring and the folks from sikorsky for letting me tag along..

And RDM, the happy note is that I may be going in the "torture device" in december!

 

So I'll be sorry for leaving, but not very! :up: :up: :up:
