It's funny ain't it, there really aren't that many bush helo pics on the web. Given how many folks in NZ fly into the bush in them its pretty surprising.
Just thinking of my Dad who has whole albums full of hard copies photos, must be a lot of geezers with that sort of stuff sitting about but it will probably never be digitised so may never appear on the web?

Yea im thinking that is the case. I bet there are alot of people who have been heli tramping or fishing or hunting etc who have some awesome photos
but they will be in their hunting or what ever albums so would have to find those and troll through.... big job...

Rest assured once im done my license I will be flying in the bush and I will be getting photos haha

I fly into the bush a few times each year. I'll have a nose in the albums.

Got any other preferences in addition to 500's and Robbies? I've got a few of those so if you want a particular machine I may have used it. eg Strawbridge helicopters, Helipro, Amalgamated, Lakeland, Helisika, Southern lakes, Mount Cook. plus a couple of others I think.

Also got the odd Huey in the bush from SAR call outs.

nothing to particular, I just love helicopters in general to be honest but cant seem to find to many bush style photos that I could use as a desktop background on the computers.
If I found really good one in hi res and I was allowed to id possibly blow it up as a poster....
