Barossa Helicopters Helipad
Robinson R 44
VH-HBK
Went to the home base of Barossa Helicopters to see their new R 44 VH-BHV.
Once we were there my self and my two companions, Simon and Steve we would go for a flight. The flight cost A$69 for 10 minutes. However only Simon and my self went up.
I was hoping to fly in the new helicopter, but VH-HBK I had already flown in. Oh well never mind, so it was not an issue as I will most probably fly in the new one soon anyway. This flight was uneventful, so there will be more pictures than text.

This is theor newest helicopter.
The first time I flew in this aircraft was at Goolwa. I was sitting in the front. That was easy to get in and out of, however this time I was sat in the back and this was much harder to get in. Getting out was not much of a problem. For those who are not an agile gymnast and find themselves boarding a R 44 go for the front seat.

On the way back we flew along a small valley at low level and I for a split second imagined we in a police chopper chasing a car down the valley.
