When we received a call from a very large construction consultants and engineers company we started planning the flight.
Tony came to us from MKA to ask if we could film a large technical college in Lawrence MA. He wanted to go at night so that he could use an infra-red camera to check heat loss from the Lawrence technical college. During the heavy snowfall of the 2010/11 season the roof had been damaged by snow shovels during snow removal. Tony arrived and we headed up to Lawrence airport (KLWM) to take the door off the helicopter and fly over the site for the pictures. We arrived at Lawrence airport after flying through Boston and wondered if the tower controller had fallen to sleep! It has to be the quietest airport I have been to, not one aircraft in the pattern or in the area the whole time we were in the area, I think the controller was just happy to speak to somebody! We took the door off and John waited on the ground in the cold whilst Tony and I circled the site for the pictures. Tony had done this many times before and we quickly completed the job. We picked up John and the door and headed back to Norwood airport (KOWD) with a beautiful sunset in New England. We landed in the dark at Norwood and Tony took some infra-red pictures of the helicopter . If your looking for aerial photo or infra red shots in New England then call Blue Hill.
You can really see the engine and exhaust tips are hot, this is about 10 minutes after landing the helicopter. You can also see a warm area at the base of the mast where the transmission is. Have a great day and enjoy the blog , we have lots going on at the school so we will try and keep the blog updated more often. Dont forget the open house on April 16th when we hope to have Mark Musgrove here with the Umass worcester helicopter, weather and schedule dependent.
