NH-90 prototype at Sydney

[AdamC]

Apparently the flyable NH-90 will be up on Australia Day around the harbour then making it's way to nowra not long after that.

[Paul Hunter]

From memory it will return from Nowra in February and will be loaded onto an Antonov (124 I assume) for departure about 10-11 February at this stage.

Regards.

Anyone seen the truck and helicopter wasn`t by Blue Sky earlier today?

[Andrew McLaughlin]

The flying helo will be in the Blue Sky hangar, and the non-flyer will be in one of the halls at the Darling Harbour Exhibition Centre for PAC010 by now.

There's a snowflakes chance that monster would fit in the Blue Sky helibox! It's been folded up and snuggly fits in the old Westpac Lifesave Hangar with about a foot to spare at the front and a couple of feet spare at the back.

The static one left for Darling Harbour on the back of the truck at around 0130 this morning.

India 1579 flew a mission to Picton drop zone from Sydney this morning... tracked via Sea Cliff bridge at Scarbrough then to Picton and return... Had a great view of it from Bald Hill lookout... Big chopper but very quite..

I was meant to be on that flight but... anyway (), the CEO of Australian Aerospace is also a champion skydiver, and he actually jumped out of the NFH whilst over Picton! The helo then landed, picked him up, and returned to YSSY!
