There's that little square of metal and your dependence on the pilot's skills in setting that bird down safely, a real challenge in high winds or on a rocking vessel!

Up close these platforms seem so large, as do these salvage vessels, but the aerial view definitely puts things into perspective...</p> Thu, 21 Jul 2011 08:22:33 -0700 2010-01-26T09:23:03-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (Ron Wooten) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/5960796947 28.386567 -93.669433 28.386567 -93.669433 2347602 Landing at Sea <p>Landing in a helicopter offshore is a really neat experience!
