.....keep clicking Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 1:03 amGives people an idea from the main rotor , the energy , as typical off many choppers the angle of the tail rotor to counter the toque !
Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 1:25 amMy son works at Woodbourne and was lined up for a flight in a Black Hawk on Wednesday but weather not good so is hoping to go today so I have told him DON"T FORGET THE CAMERA I want some pics taken from inside and of cockpit if possible he also said he would ask if they could do a fly over Omaka but I think he will be pushing his luck a bit on that one

Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 7:17 pmThe Royal New Zealand Air Force's fleet of Iroquois are in the twilight of their service life, but a young pilot based at Ohakea, near Palmerston North, would still choose to fly the relic over a more modern Black Hawk.

Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 8:13 pmblackhawks are getting abit long in the tooth as well probs why aus is replacing theirs with mrh90s but at least the hueys are easier to maintain
Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 8:40 pmCharles had some good replies during that interview.
He mentioned that he had the opportunity to fly an Aussie Black Hawk in East Timor and mentioned that he liked one or two things more aobut the Huey.
Once the others asked thier question I just had to ask what the Huey did better, the reply, It looks better and sure does sound better.
Just doing my write up on Black Hawks and Blackbird so better get back to it.
Sorry if some of the pictures done appear sometimes, photo bucket has been playing up recently.

Posted: Fri Jul 23, 2010 12:07 amA few pics Ivan my son took of the Black Hawk and from inside
He is Checking it out
Loaded up ready for lift off
looking out over the Wairau Bar and Cloudy Bay
A shot from the back looking towards the front
Those long rang tanks Certainly block a lot of the veiw
Some people have all the luck
