Same message as Chris.  Billy, maybe you can save the picture on your computer under another name first, and make sure you can open it, then retry to attach it?

Great photos!  And a medical helicopter too.  Do you know if anybody in the aircraft was hurt?  That weight coming through the window at high speed could kill somebody.

PS. Did anybody else notice that the sweet and innocent boys on this website are interested in the helicopter and the girls are more interested in Adult World???  nono1

Yep, those birds do alot of damage. We had a vulture going through the nose of an Impala MK11. Pieces were found on the training pilot's lap. Here in Dubai we had a bird going through an MD11 engine bending 4 Fan Blades.

That scary shit .. flying so close to the ground ...  I recall whenever we flew  into Katimo Mulilo on those huge hercules aircraft the procedure was as  close as possible to ground  to  stay off radar . at that low altitude  it bounced  like  mad .. but then again   they had huge  wingspan designed for load , low  speed and low  altitude flying ,,,,
