MD-900 training at Ostend harbor

Post by AirSmetten »

Yeetz!

This afternoon my trip back home from Ostend to Maldegem turned out to be very interesting. As I just missed my first train back home I had to wait an other hour to get the next one. Normally this is a very boring hour :roll: , BUT not today 8) . It looked like the SIE ( Speciale Interventie Eenheid ) had chosen to train their rope-decending techniques out of the Md-900 :grin:
Almost the whole hour they flew around the station landing twice just in front of me to reload the group of Flikken. This al went very fast I can asure you with landing, shutdown,restart en takeoff al in just 5 minutes! Luckely for my I had my camera with me :mrgreen: so I was able to shoot some nice unusual movements. I must say doing this wasn't easy! The harbor of Ostend is well fended with not engough place to put your lens between the bars. After some nice approaches this became the result:

But the SIE were not in heli anymore. :(
