Kawasaki on the Parkway.

I think the gigs up now and everyone know 🙂 its Parkway – thats an Australian metal band for those who don’t know 🙂

This was part of their music video or something to that effect – probably worthwhile checking out their latest album, its called Sacred i think. PParkway Drive check ’em out.

I don’t normally mix my photography with work, however this is one exception I suppose, mainly since its my favourite kinda of helicopter, the Kawasaki BK117-B2. Why you ask, cause its a formidable piece of engineering married between Japanese precision and German brilliance thats why 🙂 … The -B2 is pretty old now, its a well and truly legacy product of the BK117 line but given its age and its still going strong is a testimony to the quality I say.

Looks fantastic in red too, well done to Bear Designs for a great wrap job.

Its not often you get to see a helicopter up this close to the Opera house and probably equally less rare to see some lead singer fast rope it outta the chopper and onto the sails. Typically thats a activity reserved for those specialists in the Military, must be said tho that, Winston certainly gave the fast rope a new style, one handed 🙂 that would put those SAS dudes to shame 🙂

Here are a bunch of pictures from the morning, gotta give credit to the driver as well, pretty impressive to be able hold a hover over a walkway which is about a 1m width with the wind gusting all over the shop from city.

Basically in order from the start to the end..

and don’t forget, behind all that giltz and glamour of bands, cameras and stunts like this, there is a bunch of cool engineers making sh$t happen 🙂
