Hey Cash

It was a trade expo at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center. Got a super secret squirrel vendor pass from a buddy. Latest and greatest in all things tech related. Was in Reno, NV

The last platform was a double mounted Wescam product on a C-206 Station-Air. Not too sure why the double sensor mount. They have two on the same bird,makes the rear hatch door non-op since the mount goes through it.




Even came with an exhaust silencer


Got a Bell hat for ya if you want.... just need an address to send it to.

Fixed wing operations with the FLIR or L3 MX-15 are the future it seems.

Australia has been using them for years. The Gipps Air-Van GA-8






Cheers

An old SMUD COE truck. I love these things, but all too often they get all Foose'd up and lose that utilitarian look.

Copy,

Sounds like a GREAT day. All my stuff has been fixed wing with very little rotor time. I did get a chance to fly a feedback sim at the expo. My time was acceptable for a noob but probably laughable to you. Well, I should say acceptable until I brought it into a hover over the pad and lost my lift............sank like a rock at 30' as the controls went all mushy. "Settling with power"?? I think is what it's called. Got the blue screen of literal death. Even though it was a realistic sim, not a good feeling and wanted to go soak my head in the toilet. Was very cool up until that point. Felt real as hell, especially with three 65" monitors. The fully loaded simulator was very spendy at the tune of over 100K.





There was some very BA radar units there too. Actually discussed the type you were flying on the Bell for the underground lines. Tech is getting unbelievable too with their units that could pinpoint people lost in the ocean bobbing around on the surface. Only takes a butt load of $$$$.
