Since I am flying a lot now for my job I took one of the helicopters out to a remote airport and also landed in the hills down by San Clemente with my fiancee, our friend/photographer, and a buddy!! So our friend who is a professional photographer took some awesome photos of us...even better she had never been in a helicopter before so it was fun that it was her first ride ever with us!! So here are some of them for you guys to see!

Me flying us to the spot...this is over Dana Point Harbor:

That's awesome, I'd love to get some flight time in with any turbine rotor!

I only have a few hours total, as it's only a hobby(expensive!).. If I could get my CFI and maybe get some "paid-for" hours it might be worth it to get more seat time.

Glad to see it's working out for you and you aren't stuck doing taxi duty in the GOM! lol

Yahhh it's a total blast!! Especially you can truly feel how powerful they are compared to the piston driven helicopters!! The A-Star is powerfulll. It's funny though because the main rotor spins the opposite direction than the Robinsons since its a Eurocopter, so the pedal movements are the opposite of what they normally are when making collective movements etc.

Very nice pics man.

Thank you!!

Congrats Brandon!!!! awesome pics and wish you the best!!

Thank you very much Brian!! I hope you're doing great still and I just LOVE that grabber blue!!!

Must be awesome. Hard work payin off right there.

Thank you very much! And so true, I'm so happy all my hard work did pay off in the end!!

Classic

Gotta have the raybans for everyone in the air


Congrats

Hahaha yessir! I have "rayban cockpits" cuz the normal sized big aviators are way too big for my face! Aviators work best though because they block out the most amount of sun from your field of vision!

Thank you!!

First, congratulations on your engagement. You look like a great couple. Loved the photos from the air, as always. :)

Thank you very much Bob!! And I'm glad I could make you smile! I hope you're doing great buddy!
