octave Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Out on a long bike ride today I came across these. Unfortunately I did not have my DSLR with me so I had to rely on my shoddy phone camera and shoot through a fence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetrack Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) It's simply amazing to me how these machines are still operating and performing admirably, nearly 60 years after the first production model flew. I see where Erickson have carried out 1,350 modifications to the S-64 - but despite that, the basic design still appears to be largely the original design. Here's a CH-54 on the Kanga Pad at Nui Dat, in 1970, when I was still a young and virile lad, keeping the Communist menace at bay. That's 51 years ago! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_CH-54_Tarhe Edited April 27, 2021 by onetrack 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Had a chat with one of the support crew at Essendon a few years ago. He took me out on the tarmac to get some photos. Told me the E model has a single wheel on the main u/c (see to front two in the last photo). The F model has dual wheels - rear airrcaft same photo. F model (Edit: Ten years ago - 04/04/2011.) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Tuncks Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Helicopters don't really fly... they are so ugly that the ground repels them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 42 minutes ago, Bruce Tuncks said: If it's one Elvis, is it two Elvii? If the singular noun ends in –is, the plural ending is –es. So two or more would be elves. Of course the most famous firefighter named Elvis is Elvis Cridlington, a firefighter in Fireman Sam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
