Please join me for “Shark Patrol” in an R44 (You can almost taste the salt spray and the offshores breeze)

Thank you! Glad you are exploring helicopters also. The following video is about landing off airport.

I named it:
“...Airports? We don’t need no stinking airports...”

Coined the term from the infamous movie;

The first time I had to go to the bathroom while airborne and we landed on a nearby hill, I was sold on rotary wing!

Definitely. Oregon is really helicopter friendly. I love flying her here. Hawaii is the opposite.

Very good for patrolling the ocean near shore also. In Australia, it’s amazing to see how many sharks are actually in the water. Several fatalities occurred at beaches where I had surfed! Many videos of schools dangerously close to shore that normally were unnoticed until a slow flying aircraft spotted them!

This weekend “Down-under” near “Drifters” AKA Tim’s home near Byron Bay: Lots of helicopter filming...NEED TO WATCH THIS...Great White has no FEAR.
