January 2009 - A mish MASH of work

A great start to the year, beautiful weather for flying and filming. At the moment I'm making a short promo video for the MASH chopper experience in Tauranga, this has been great fun! Phil Hooker runs the show...

 

...he is an ex Air NZ pilot who flies everything from gyrocopters and hang gliders through to Bell 47s and 737s! He also runs the 737 Flight Experience at the airport, along with the Military Museum. Flying around in the Bell with Phil has been magic, what a great machine! The bubble canopy is a big chage from the R44, but a bit harder to get stills from as the rotors are lower. Nothing that a quick bank can't fix anyway =) Have done a couple of stills jobs while the weather has been good...looking forward to more and to another great year!
