How cool that you got your photo in the paper. However, the anxiety I feel just looking at this photo, is more than I can bear. Nice work

Great photoshopping of the outside world in those windows. It appears by the instruments that your not flying. Looks like the NR ( rotor tach) is at zero. Oil and fuel pressure is zero and the art. horiz. is inop. Mag switch is also in the O.F.F. position. :) The main rotor blade is a nice touch as well. Very nice job on the outside image inlay. I have tried to do this but can never get it to look this good. Worth a vote.

Awesome Robin! Really cool!

is there a parachute on that fire extingisher? how come the ground looks tilted in that little round dial? how come you didn't fall out? what would happen if my knee toggled that little thing right next to the big red knob? NO THANKS!

Zak		19-Mar-2007 19:25
hmmm, I wonder what that red button does ;-)

Guest		19-Mar-2007 18:27
Wow! So what have I missed. How'd you get the chopper ride? Are you a photojounalist for the Californian too?

Way to go, Robin!

Fantastic work, Robin. Good for you. Yesterday I thought I could see one of the photographers on ground....that is dedication...in the air and on the ground.

Fascinating, Robin. I'm so glad there's still people out there with a social conscience.
