Bridges to Nowhere – Welcome to the Mythical Paradise Bay, San Francisco
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009What’s Up With All the Military Helicopters Above San Francsico These Days?
Thursday, November 19th, 2009It would have been hard to miss a giant twirlypopper like this twin-engine, tandem rotor, heavy-lift Boeing-Vertol CH-47 Chinook (I’ll say it’s a CH-47D, just because) over Civic Center’s United Nations Plaza yesterday. Mmmm. And, it’s not alone up there – there are other military birds above us as well these days.
What does the military need to lift in San Francisco? Are there any bases around here anymore?

Or maybe it’s just another military joyride above the 415?
Hard to say.
San Franciscans “Trauma”-tized – Low and Slow Choppers Film NBC Pilot
Thursday, April 9th, 2009Saigon. I can’t believe I’m still in Saigon. That’s what San Franciscans thought to themselves today during the filming of NBC pilot and possible E.R. replacement Trauma. Why? Because it was just like the movie Apocalypse Now today what with all the thumping helicopters flying over Union Square and SoMA.
What’s this massive twirly-popper with room for 15? It’s a UH-1N Iroquois Twin Huey, just like in ‘Nam. Seen above Market Street today. Click to expand:
What’s this -”Angel Rescue”? Right, like San Francsico NIMBYs would ever allow a helipad for our quasi-Level One trauma center, or allow aptly-named, life-saving Life Flights within the City limits. Get real, Hollywood. Sure, some people are condemned to die, but Potrero Hill property values uber alles, right?
Good-bye Bell 212 #N911VR. Have a nice trip back to Fresno.
Helipad now!
Hell, helipad yesterday!
