Default Dangerous Work!

You may have wondered as to my occupation, well now you will know! It sure is not Photography!

It is incredibly difficult to photograph the people you work with, while you are working! I have become somewhat of a professional at it...

Additional Information - The mast torque calibration must be preformed on the OH-58D while the aircraft is fully powerd up, without main rotor blades. The mechanic (usually me) must adust the position of a sensor directhy underneath the rotating portion to get the in-cockpit reading to 0% torque.

That sure is a dangerous way to get a haircut Eric lol.. only kidding, you do a great job and you did a great job with this photograph and the way you captured the movement of the rotors. Excellent work my friend.

Dave.

You have to remember not to shoot your hand up when someone shouts across the yard "WHO WANTS A BEER AND A HOT DOG?"

Keep up the hard work and good luck!
