Hind Airport Limo
My departure from Freetown and a
final ride on the Hind, this time to Lungi Airport.
You don't climb into a Hind, it sort of swallows you . . .
That's my bag - next to the ammo
. . .
The business end of the Hind.
Looking towards Sierra Leone's second Hind from the first.
Two panoramic shots inside the cockpit
The cockpit is actually rather cramped
- simply because there are so many gadgets sticking out everywhere . .
.
Take off from Cockerill, and we
pass by ICI's busy Mi-8 helicopters. You can see that the clamshell
doors
in the back of the center one are
open. Note the dark clouds . . .
A low pass down the beach . . .
Passing over huts and by a beach
villa.
Looking like I know what the hell
I'm doing . . .
The rain coming off the mountains
was going to make the flight a bit wetter than I expected.
