Helicopter over Mt Cook

Man this was one of the best thrill rides yet. Helicopter ride around Mt Cook, Mt Tasman and the Fox Glacier. The Chopper was as used by US Special Forces. 5 blades 100% viz an engine that really kicked plus a pilot who was game on. Right from the off it was just spectacular. We went right around the mountains and then
landed at the head of the Glacier.























With the Pilot. What a job








Pristine wilderness, just magic. Reckon Heli skiing must be awsome I can see why people pay the money. Just perfect.










Av it, caught Diane with a well aimed snow ball.










She still loves me though











Crikey I'm lookin like grizzly adams :)












Getting right in close to the crevasses on the Glacier, beautiful blue colour.








Few bits of vid.
