Guest jacdor Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Think he might have wore the starter out...anyone notice the 80 second crank to get the beast started??? Probably why he is standing outside, he is ready to run away if something goes wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutmix Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Any body have any idea of what that thing is sticking out from the tail boom extension, above the turtle back?? I've never seen blades with what appears to be counter weights on them either!! Am I seeing things that aren't there or is it just Old Timers?? Earlier C's have the nav lights mounted on the boom support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwistedSpar Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 he clearly is on workmans comp with a bad knee and is on a modified work program....he starts it....Jethro the much younger able bodied 100 hour wonder flies it. once it's back from the days flying duties, he yanks Jethro out from his shirt collar and shuts it down in simliar fashion....

sharkbait Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Sharkbait, If I had to guess, I'd say that photograph is of a Viking Helicopters 500C parked at the training base in Kenora, ON circa 1975. Am I close? Dewey: Photo came via the Late Geoff Palmer who trained with Viking in Kenora so I would say Kenora is correct. If my memory is correct it would have been 74. Does the 47 photo help? If I recall they lost a 47 to a training accident when Geoff was in Kenora so that may help pin the date down. Perhaps Don would recall.

FLYFISHER Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 first thing i noticed other than standing outa the machine was the start kinda hung there for quite a while, time for a new fcu or some adjustments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Or maybe it was a maintenance dude starting it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
