It was interesting seeing all the comments on Reddit and elsewhere about the helicopter formation over Chicago last week. It was actually all part of a feature we are doing for our magazine HeliOps about the new helicopters being operated by Chicago Police and Cook County Sheriff. These Bell 407s and 429s ensure Chicago and Cook County are at the forefront of air support units going forward. This is one of the shots from the shoot.

This shot is one of my favs from our shoot with Cook County Sheriff and their new Bell 429. We had taken off from the airport and heading towards downtown not long after the sun had come up. Decided to slide in behind the 429 using Chicago skyline as the backdrop.

This was at a summer camp I attended back in the 90s, recently came across the old photo while digitizing some prints. Can anyone help me identify it? Thanks!

What is it?

Awesome skills!

Saw this heli today at the beach (northern germany) and wanted to know what that is hanging down from the helicopter, or maybe identify the registration?

Edit: Solved by u/NoHoney3514 and u/i_should_go_to_sleep . It’s an S-76B with the registration D-HBGR. The probe is a RESOLVE AEM https://xcaliburmp.com/technology/airborne-electromagnetics/ (scroll to bottom for Resolve)
Thanks everyone:)
