The old and the new

[Ian]

I posted this on DPNow earlier but thought it might be appreciated here as well

2006 model Eurocopter EC130 B4 and The Grand Canyon, Arizona, several hundred million years old.

Taken while at PMA in Las Vegas at the end of last month.

I like this a lot! One thing confuses me though; how did you take the picture? I am assuming that the helicopter was in flight when you took the image - were there two of them and you photographed one from the other? Just curious thats all!

No the chopper was parked on a ledge (quite a generous area) half way down one side of the Grand Canyon wall. It's picnic spot rented from the local American Indians by Maverick Helicopters in Las Vegas. There were 7 helicopters parked there on this trip

Good shot Ian. Did you notice the face above the chopper tail?
