Description
Imagine a low flying helicopter over your home early in the mornings or late at nights to view the lava that’s threatening your area. Eventually, the FAA had implemented a no-fly-zone in the Kalapana area to protect the residents. There were 3 or 4 helicopters flying over me during this shooting. This particular Helicopter might have been from the "USGS" crew as their picture posted was taken on the same day as mines.... Please Zoom in or see my slide video of "Pulama Pali" . Aloha and thank you for viewing

A long time ago, I had been in a helicopter that flew over an eruption. Great way to see it. But, this does take away from the awesome sight. No obstructions is the best. Nice shot. Aloha
Always IMPRESSIVE TO SEE THIS...Just hope Big Mama will stay smooth
Apocalypse now! Great clarity and contrast in this overhead shot of the whirlybird bisecting the lava flow, Errol! But, how did you get above the copter for this one? Were you on top of a mountain?
@goodoleboy....It almost seems that way doesn't it :) But they were above me...
Fantastic perspective my friend, marvelous and impressive photo indeed, well done! Congratulations!
Fascinating as usual Errol.
wow I like this pov. guess it a hill there and the air craft look like it below you but it not. love the red line of Lava there toowith the black land
awesome view
amazing photo!!
I understand the perspective from where you were. You are capturing some very historic photos Errol! Good work!
indeed impressive !!
Great shot Errol. I looked up this helicopter (tail# N311VT). It is registered to Volcano Helicopters at the airport in Hilo. Think this is a tourist flight.
Awe inspiring Errol but I know what you mean about helicopter noise. I live on a flight testing path for the helicopters built for the military in Yeovil,UK.
wow, what an impressive picture Errol.....you aways catch the right moment
Superb pic. It must be an intrusion after an already frightening experience.
Spectacular and very interesting capture!
Wow this is awesome and at least u can say u have an eye in the sky to watch out for all of u.
bravo, excellent capture !!
This is truely amazing. :)))) I hope all are safe. :)))))) Most excellent capture my friend. :))))) Thank you for sharing all of the beauty you see. :)))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :)))))
Really gives a great perspective on the scale with the helicopter in the shot. :) Excellent capture!
You have an excellent series of shots in the slide video. And this particular shot, with the helicopter in it, is a jewel.
excellent !
outstanding capture Errol and II can imagine the noise.an ambulance service in helicopters fly over my house going to E. Texas, but I can not complain about them
Exceptional capture! Great image! :)
@bmac62...Bill, the USGS and scientist will rent/use that Helicopter. I have some pictures from before with the whole crew outside taking pictures.....same helicopter and number. @Richardphotos....its a different story between tour helicopters and ambulance service in helicopters. I wouldn't complain about emergency helicopter too... Aloha
