Nice angle and great detail.

Nice of the designers to angle the exhausts upwards, so heat turbulence doesn't blur your image of the fuselage

That's an interesting image. TFS, J

Nice rendition of this machine. I'm fascinated by the double hoists. (On the right side, visible between the tail blades and the horizontal stabilizer.) I flew on SAR helos (US) for many years and have never seen a double hoist like that and I'm curious as to how it works/is operated.

They have 2 hoist if one brake ther is a backup
