Aerial Shoot with a EUROCOPTER EC135!

Received a call Wednesday morning from a industrial park client requesting me to free-up my schedule Thursday, April 8, to ride a full scale heli and take aerial shots of their industrial park in Sto. Tomas, Batangas. Their Chairman will be dropping by Thursday around 1pm with prospective clients (locators) to do an ocular and since they have the heli for the whole afternoon, might as well use it to do aerial shots of their industrial park.

When we got there, I was so ecstatic to find out that I'll be riding one of Eurocopters latest models, the EC135. It's the Mercedes Benz of helicopters. All leather seats, super smooth flight characteristics.. wow, such a winner! I brought a partner photographer with me, Engr. Bugz to serve as backup to help take as much pictures as possible. He as well was so excited about the shoot since this will give him another opportunity to update his portfolio.

The flight was indeed really smooth despite winds blowing up to 27kph... we went up to a height of 1,000 feet and flew around the 300 hectare property twice. At one point we had to go up to 2,000 feet to avoid several kites flying in the area. :)
