Nothing as nice as a Hughes 500 - one of the best helicopters ever made.
Fast as hell, quiet and a big little workhorse for a lot of companies
everywhere (not to mention special ops "Little Birds"). Good full
capture of the pilot and crewman screaming at each other. As someone
else pointed out a longer shutter period would have helped to get some
blur in the rotor. (Been there...)

Thanks for the comments. I totally agree about shutter speed comments,
my tripod was miles away and at the time the combination of the high
rotor speed on the Hughes and hand held 300mm multiplied by 1.6
lack of blur just didn't appear to be a problem at the time.

I stayed around for 20 minutes or so and saw great displays of airmanship
including the almost casual way this conversation was taking place
120 feet up with lots of things to get tangled up in.

Thanks
