I can’t remember the last time one of the helicopters woke me up. This morning that streak was broken at 05:14. I’m not sure why, but the typically quieter EC-135 helicopter woke me straight up out of a deep sleep. I’m sure it was a deep sleep since I was somewhere off in dream [...] A few nights back, I had the opportunity to try my hand again, at some night photography of the helicopters. This time the subject is an EC-135 EuroCopter Air Ambulance. Photography at Harrison’s Hospital during lift-off.

And the fact [...] Over the last week, I have seen a new emergency airlift helicopter landing at the hospital. Airlift Northwest – EuroCopter EC135 tail N139AM I’ve seen this airframe type in use before, but the livery is different from anything I’ve seen to date. One of the nicer aspects of this type of aircraft is [...] The last couple of days have been pretty nice. I had my older 20D camera body loaded with the 100-400L Zoom and next to my desk. More than a few times a week, the AirLift Northwest helicopters bring people into the trauma center at Harrisons. So, I decided to snap a few pics. They [...] |
