Photographer's remark
(28.1.2017, 08:55 CET)
Winter startup after a blizzard and freezing overnight temperatures. This photo shows the rear pilots position used for extreme lifting like ski towers etc. The front pilots fly to the scene and the rear pilot takes over and does the initial lift from the ground into the air and the final set at the destination. 3 pilots who switch positions whenever they refuel in most cases to share the flying stress and to keep fresh. The 3 large boxes under the frame carry their tools and spare parts and are left at the LZ when performing lifts.
