Aviation Stuff

I took this picture while flying yesterday. I was at 2500 feet above the ground when I took this picture. The cluster of buildings is downtown Greenville and the green line above it and to the right is the Greenville downtown airport. You can see a thunderstorm building in the west as well. A very awesome view. The day I stop being amazed by what I see when in the air is the day I stop flying. How can you not believe in God when you see that??
This is the first big helicopter project I have been involved in. This is a OH-58, the military version of a Bell Jet Ranger. It was purchased by an upstate Sheriff office. We are replacing the two lower nose windows and the two "skylight" windows above front seats. We also are doing a few sheet metal repairs on the body. This is all in preparation for it to go to the paint shop where it will receive a nice paint job and have the county's logos put on it. After that we are maintaining it as various parts and sections need inspected and replaced.
