French Polynesia: Sikorsky JRS-1 in a tropical thunderstorm

[peer01]

Responding to an emergency call from a pilot in troubles on a nearby atol. There's a tropical thunderstorm on it's way and it will be dark soon. Not the best circumstances for a rescue...

Ready for action

With a capable aircraft like that it looks like the rescue will be "Notrouble Atol". :rolleyes:

This is the atol where our friend had to ditch his plane, the landing will be risky

It was only possible to take pics when the plane was lit by lightning (so I had to make many screens lol)

The bird did it's very best Bob, but it became a real fight, I added too much storm I'm afraid :D But, at the end "No trouble atol" indeed lol :):)

:cool::cool::eek::eek: These are truly awesome my good friend, I think they are all masterpieces!! The lightning looks stunning! I am a bit sad that summer is coming to an end soon, but these got me right back in the tropical mood!

Thanks for picking me up btw :D:D!! I didn't expect the lighting, but I brought my speedos and anticipated my feet would get wet. Lucky your maintenance guy is a clever fellow :rolleyes::p.

Did you get my pm with my address? I will send you the shipping costs for your cd. Unless you give me the Peerhoven Cargo rate :D:p.

Greets and hugs to you and all your beautiful Dutch ladies!!

Mr. Singer: Ofcourse they are masterpieces LOL I'm busy making a CD for you, got your mail, thanks.

[pivek]

Wow Jan...another wordless set. Astonishing combination of lights and shadows very much like Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn :cool:

[peer01]

I'm certainly not a Rembrandt, ask Bianca :D:D
Thanks for your kind comment Carlos, I'm glad you like them :)

[peer01]

Thanks Ivan and Mircea, I'm glad you liked tje pics :):)

Dave: You promised NOT to post these pics! :mad: Besides that, you designed this bedroom :D

[aircav1970]

[QUOTE=Dave: You promissed NOT to post these pics! :mad: Besides that, you designed this bedroom :D[/QUOTE]

Jan,our friend Dave gossips like an old woman at the backyard fence...:eek::p:p

[peer01]

I'm afraid you're right Gary, but let's face it: you can't fight the terrible forces of nature. :eek::eek:

[davestan_ksan]

:D:o Gossip? ME? PAH! I only tell things that I think are important. Like, watch out for that waitress, I hear she has a black belt in kick boxing. Or, watch out for that cook, I hear he doesn't wash his hands. Nothing about Peerhoven's "worldwide renowned Air Traffic Control School" and its graduates!

Lol, I did design that room but YOU painted it! Plus I think the Playboy bunnies go nicely with your Speedo collection! :rolleyes::p.
