The first three shots are of some of the shortest and narrowest runways at major airports around the world.
Macau International Airport
Tioman Island , Off the coast of Malaysia
Kuujjuaraapik , Quebec
A rock, off the coast of Greenwood (Canadian Military Labrador Helicopter)
Outstanding job by a great young pilot from Pennsylvania !
Can't add anything else to this... the picture is worth 10,000 words!
If you don't think our military pilots earn their pay, you need to take a look at the picture below.
This photo was taken by a soldier in Afghanistan of a helicopter rescue mission.
The pilot is a PA National Guard who flies EMS choppers in civilian life.
Now how many people on the planet you reckon could set the rear end of a chopper down on the roof top of a shack, on a steep mountain cliff, and hold it there while soldiers load wounded men in the back? If this does not impress you... nothing ever will.
