I just finished a 12 day hitch at work. Very glad to be getting a break. The MD900 has just been approved for rappell making it the ultimate wildland fire assault vehicle. Here are some photos of the crew making the first rappells. Also, on more interesting note. I had a pretty cool mission last week. A dory got parked on the right side of Dubendorf rapids. It was pinned against a rock for over two weeks. We had to fly the river rangers in with all there extraction devices to get it off. It took three loads at 1000lbs each to get all there gear in. The next day they called the helicopter in to fly out the old boat. I guess you could say the whole job was somewhat of a cathartic experience having been a dory boatman and leaving such a fun job to be a helicopter pilot. None the less, still an awesome time. here's some pics.
