During holidays in September I visited the European Helicopter Cup at Le Touquet-Paris-Plage. A lot of spectacular rotary action in perfect weather!
Stewards are judging the performance of a French team during the Precision Flying Element
The female Russian champion at work
Another all-female French team taking off for their part of the competition.
A nice participant was this red Allouette
Part of the flightline
Anyone for a rear end?
A member of Patrouille de France climbs into his office for a training flight over Le Touquet-Plage
And the home-team with a low pass
During my stay on the coast I paid a visit to Le Havre-Octeville as well.
The pilots of Le Havre Port Authority
IMHO the most beautifull EC-135 around (and there were 3 of those!)
Another home-team is the Securite Civile
Enjoy!
