    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Much better, Matt! Those are some interesting pictures, thanks for sharing. I have a friend who's was a mechanic in the aviation unit, I'll have to pass the link along to him. I'm sure he worked on some of those birds.

    Great helo shots. A lot of these are from the late 80s/90s except of course the old float equipped Bell 47.
    Notice the 412 with the old N # (N539KG) the Hueys, the Jetranger with no markings (PD 1 I believe) and
    the best was the three ships landed on the street with one of them being Aviation 2 the MBB BO-105 which at that time was the first non Bell helicopter the department ever bought. Loved that ship unfortunately it
    was lost in a hard landing while practicing at Floyd.
    Wonder what that job was with them landing three ships in the street like that?

    I think that was the Pope's visit in Queens.
