AirVenture (Oshkosh) 2014

Great shots Erich. That Safari helicopter, is it a kit-type? Looks like a scaled-down Bell 47G.
And helicopters should not turn upside down like the Red Bull example !!
I'm considering getting a Nikon 80 - 400mm lens, on offer at a very low price, used once by a retiring professional photographer. Decisions, decisions .........

I love the 80-400, Terry. If it's a good buy, go for it!

The Safari is indeed a kit helicopter. It has been called the Baby Bell because of it's resemblance to the Bell-47, however, due to trademarks, it was never officially called the Baby-Bell.

Thanks Erich.
I'm just waiting to hear from the seller, to see if he'll hold it for me until I get back from this (long) weekend's air show and airfield tour. It's in mint condition, and priced at only £560 ovno !! The usual UK (new) price is around £1,200, although a couple of 'chains' have it at £999.
I'm just hoping he hasn't already sold it !
