AirLift Northwest photos – Canon 20D + 400mmL IS lens

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 have a number of helicopters, and at least two different models currently in use. This one, photographed on two separate days. I believe this to be an Agusta a109.

Note about these photos. These are re-sized by the blog software, and they loose a little bit of their quality. The originals are tack-sharp. I’ll have to look into adjusting the blog software to not mangle my photos. Not sure if it’s possible but worth a try.
