Apparently the flyable NH-90 will be up on Australia Day around the harbour then making it's way to nowra not long after that.

From memory it will return from Nowra in February and will be loaded onto an Antonov (124 I assume) for departure about 10-11 February at this stage.

Regards.

Anyone seen the truck and helicopter wasn`t by Blue Sky earlier today?

The flying helo will be in the Blue Sky hangar, and the non-flyer will be in one of the halls at the Darling Harbour Exhibition Centre for PAC010 by now.

There's a snowflakes chance that monster would fit in the Blue Sky helibox!;) It's been folded up and snuggly fits in the old Westpac Lifesave Hangar with about a foot to spare at the front and a couple of feet spare at the back.

The static one left for Darling Harbour on the back of the truck at around 0130 this morning.

India 1579 flew a mission to Picton drop zone from Sydney this morning... tracked via Sea Cliff bridge at Scarbrough then to Picton and return... Had a great view of it from Bald Hill lookout... Big chopper but very quite..

Cheers

I was meant to be on that flight but... anyway (:mad:), the CEO of Australian Aerospace is also a champion skydiver, and he actually jumped out of the NFH whilst over Picton! The helo then landed, picked him up, and returned to YSSY!

dam CEO'S !!!! would have been a great little trip... did a nice tight turn over the top of the bridge before heading north up the coast.... commiserations Andrew....
