Alpha13 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) I took these today for those that like this type of helicopter. Not a very exciting paint scheme. Edited January 27, 2010 by Alpha13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony in NZ Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 You are right, not a very exciting colour scheme........................................but a very very cool helicopter!!!! Thank you very much for taking the time to snap them and upload them. The interesting thing is how some of the subtle lines really show up on a scheme like this. Notice the pointy/raised contour around the nose centreline. This runs from the windscreen vertically down around the nose to about the forward skid attach line (does that make sense???). You can also see the ribbed type lines on the vert stabs (or end plates as the engineers call them). Interesting to see, thanks very much! Cheers Anthony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remington Box Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Damn nice pictures, really shows off the lines of the chopper itself... Edited January 27, 2010 by Remington Box Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim Bradley Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Thanks for the shots, always nice to see something colorful. Also, check your "white balance" on your camera, should be on auto or daylight. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Maifacture/type) Nice photos of the Brisbane chopper. The choppers are BK-117's by Eurocopter. Originally developed by MBB of Germany and Kawasaki of Japan. MBB was bought by Daimler Benz and then became part of Eurocopter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AirMedical Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) N117M used to belong to Med Flight of Ohio. Clearly being used as an Omni Flight Helicopters backup ship. I beleive Med Flight is using one BK-117 now (#5). The remaining fleet are EC-135s and a couple 350 Astars. Here's a model I did as Med Flight #5 N117MH is the old Methodist Hospitals Life Line BK from Indianaplois, IN. Sweet paint job!

hawkwrench Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Here's the University of Cincinnati 's newest helicopter. It's a EC-145. Very cool looking if you ask me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arkhunter2002 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 UC, ew... I should have taken pics of the Miami Valley Hospitals' medflight. They flew the SA365N's so you could always hear the high pitched whine of the fenestron. There were a few times EC-145s would fly to the hospital, too.
