RFS Helibase Tour

Today (backdated) I went with Tony to the RFS Helibase at Hume, because helicopters!!!

Firebird 325

We missed the beginning of the talk (it was a family and friends open day for the RFS) because we were distracted by the Toll chopper keeping a bucket at that same level while descending and winching it in.  Very cool.
