What an unusual beast that is. Does it sound as unusual as it looks?

Ooooooh! Very cool shot Gav! And yeah, I'd love to hear the answer to Dave's question too!
Slightly OT, a while back I built models of a KA-50 and a KA-25, those rotorheads are damned fiddly in 1:72!

Yes the sound to me was different to any other helo I've heard in NZ. When it flew into woodbourne I heard what first sounded like an Iroquois, but I could sense a difference. When I went outside it still sounded a bit like an Iroquois, although a bit quieter, with less thump and a slightly higher beat.

You even managed to catch the beacon in that shot Gavin.  One of the Ardmore based helicopter instructors was acting as their onboard "guide" for want of a better word, and actually got the opportunity to fly it for a little while. It certainly sounded like he enjoyed the experience! |
