Promised and Long Overdue

Ok, here goes:The Machine we flew down: a Bell 206L Long Ranger.

Full body shot....

Waiting for the pilot in Prince Rupert (while the weather was still good).

Featuring the full surround visibility. Despite popular opinion smaller aircraft especially helicopters are not particularly water proof and water leaks in when you are flying through heavy rain, hence the drain hole at my feet... to avoid a puddle.

In bad weather east of Port Hardy.

One of the Atlantic Salmon fish farms in a small bay.

This fish farm is especially full. We could see the fish jumping from the helicopter. If you look at the picture in a larger view you will see small white spots in the squares which are the splashes from the very active salmon.

Approaching Vancouver.

Thats it! Unfortunately the weather was not exactly conducive to picture taking.
