Great shots Adler I noticed a couple of cans of WD40 behind the seat do you have to nip out now and again to stop the rotors squeaking?

LOL, trackened, Yeah if the rotors need that we are screwed. Use them to lube up bifilar weights and such not and it helps keep them from getting to corroded.

Here are some more pics:

Sorry, these are Canadian planes.
Obviously older shots.

Actually I was with a Retired US Army Col., he was a blast. After a night of dinner and MANY drinks we were leaving the resturant and somehow his camera wound up in a pond full of coi carp. I fished it out before the fish ate it (Biggest coi Carp I even seen!)

No worries my friend. If you ever look rotor head of a Blackhawk (I have some pictures of the them, I have to find them and then I will post them for you) there are four sets of weight (2 on each set). Each set is between 2 rotors. They basically acts as weights for the rotor head itself. You have to lube them up because they move around and they can get quite dirty and sometimes crack if you dont clean them up reguarly. They are a real pain in the butt to clean them up and you get your fingers smashed a lot.

Yeah most of the time we are pretty low. These pictures were actually taken when we flew accross the border from Macedonia to Kosovo in 2002. We were actually only at an allitude of about 5000ft and going through the montains there. We have been pretty high up in them though. I have done flights in Hawks up to 11,000ft. There are guys in my unit who have been to the mountain training school and have had there Hawks up around 14000 ft.

Were you never tempted to switch on 'Ride of the Valkyries' doing the low level stuff?

We actually spliced a MP3 player into our ICS system so we could listen to music and on some flights we would play it.
