    Awesome photos, and great climbout angle on those LGA shots. Since when does DHL fly helicopters?

    I have no idea how long they've been doing it, but I caught one out at FRG last May.

    When I used to listen to the live JFK feed, I used to hear to callsign DHL7 that was a helicopter that I think used to go to downtown NY several times a day.

    I used to see DHL choppers over Queens pretty frequently, haven't seen one in years though.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    DHL flies in and out of the Wall St Heliport numerous times during the day.
    Overheard on JFK TOWER - S Turns are fine, U-Turns are bad....

    Awesome shots. Note the gear not yet fully retracted in the first banking-climbing pic.
