Notes:

This lovely old Albatross has seen service with the US Navy and now flys privately mainly in the US but has also been seen a few years ago making the rounds at the UK air shows. I guess she's in town for Aviation Nation 2008. Shot taken from our Cessna Caravan en-route to the Grand Canyon.

This fully kitted out EC 145 climbs away from the Heliport today with the backdrop of Paris behind, no doubt in search of some car jackers or other riff raff on the streets of Paris

This awesome looking Aérospatiale approaches the landing platform 4,000 feet down into the Canyon after her short decent from Grand Canyon West Airport

This huge lumbering beats arrives from Mumbai via ZSPD, looking great moments prior to touching down here in San Francisco in the lovely evening light

I remember reading an article in FLYING about that plane, all the photos were taken nearby, so it may be based there. Cool photos Dan
