Welcome from Down under.
Welcome aboard, Sid, from the green mountains of Vermont. (Sometimes mistaken for a county in upstate New York, or northern New Hampshire, depending on your perspective.)
You'll be a welcome addition to our diverse pantheon of expertise.
Cheers,
Wes
Hey, don't sell yourself short. We're not exactly overstocked with professional fling wing fliers here. You can be our resident guru.I don't know if I'll be anywhere near as accomplished as some of the ''anoraks'' on here!

Welcome Sid, as a past professional passenger of angry palm trees and other such military helicopters and aircraft, I have to say there was never a more heartening sound than the in-comming growl of Hueys approaching an LZ.
Great vid there Sid, that pilot was really swinging her around with confidence. I think that was one of the "hallmarks" of the Huey.
Was that at a high field elevation? (I'm wondering if that approach was done to keep the T/R happy. Although I'd find it hard to believe you could run out of Q in a Bell 212!)There was about a 30knot wind and FOB Walton and you did not make a habit of doing the obvious.
I didn't know the military guys were videoing my approach until we caught up later in the day when I landed back at Walton for the night.
