Look ere Red Hot Chilli Pepper, I have issues holding a camera still (with no tripod) when using anything less than 1/320 so you're getting frozen blades and thats the end of it :p

For a L-O-N-G time this has been my
Favo(u)rite Copter -- The Sikorsky CH-54
"Tarhe"..........

Image

In the early 90s the Rhode Island National
Guard came here to Bangor with five of
them to do training exercises. One day
they did a demo open to the public and I
went. They lifted a tank and various trucks
and a wonderful time was had by all!

Oh, and NOT my photo so you can't blame ME
for the Frozen Rotors! Nyaaaah! Nyaaaah! Nyaaaah!
I like to do my planning retroactively!
