Not Boating Related, but I thought I would share some images', I shot of Helicopters' this year.
Here is a partial collection of Choppers', I shot this year. I only made it to two Airshows this year. As it would seem, that I was more occupied/ having a blast with shooting Offshore Powerboat Racing & Hydroplanes.
C&C is welcome. Have a Good Day.

Here's a link about the Red Bull Helo & Pilot: http://www.redbullusa.com/cs/Satelli...21242751977720

Mr Eaton,
Nice photos, thought I would add some photos shot by our Publisher of helicopters to go along with yours.
Ned's other passion is aviation so helicopters and the like are one of his fav subjects.

James,
Yes Ned does shoot some nice helo shots and gets some great access. Yes in New Zealand deer are a noxious pest so there are about 30 or so helicopters in the country that have their primary income from hunting deer for the export market.
Regards
Rick.
P.S. Will check with Ned and ask him how he shot image 3.
