16-9242 — - KRDD  Ship 577 (169242-UH-1Y) with the Commanding Officer S. Deputy of HMLAT-303 at the controls for a perfect take off from Redding, CA. This flight of 4 HMLAT-303 helicopters was enroute Camp Pendleton to the Eugene Oregon area when they diverted to RDD/KRDD Redding, CA Municipal Airport due to bad weather on April 7th. 2017. The pre-flighting was done Saturday 4/8/2017 with 3 of the 4 departing as 1 of the AH-1Z "Vipers" would not start due to a bad battery. When Commander S. Deputy throttled up to lift, the exhaust blast was well felt" Sir as his Crew Chief watches to see how far back I was pushed by the exhaust as they rotated out! Thank you for a great unscheduled Airshow in Redding!

Superb series of shots, Alien. This one is my newest w/paper and it looks primo on the screen. Solid 5 star set, my friend. Congrats on the impromptu spotting opp. And TY for sharing these.

Thank you Gman and Dave S...I was on work OT Saturday AM and they only allowed 4hrs this day so I started at 0500am, out at 900am and went to cruise by RDD across the street after I left. I was totally surprised to see the flight of 4 on the helipad. The crews were just starting to get the ships ready when I pulled up. I then moved over by the tower and Redding Air Services parking lot and had sat there taking a few snaps. The building is surrounded by cameras and the guy inside must have seen me and came out and took me out on the ramp for about 1.5 hrs.- total lucky day!
