John flying in South America

I spent August 2005 in Peru flying a Squirrel AS350 B2 on a long line seismic project. We were located quite remotely, all the cargo was delivered to the site by boat. For heavy items the helicopter was required to assist. Here I am lifting drilling rigs from the craft.


The terrain was gently rolling and jungle covered, broken by the Urubamba river. A typical day began with a reasonable fog.


Helicopter preperation for the day.


Just about ready to get started, some GPS programming to be done first.
