Are these pictures rigged? As you can see in this picture it looks like I am cleaning a helicopter, something I would never do. I think it would be unfair of me to deprive my loadmaster of his work. After all I wouldn't be happy if someone tried to steal my flight. So the answers is yes, many of these pictures are rigged, this one more than others. https://spinwingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/photo-24-01-15-12-05-52.jpgDCIM117GOPROShutting down after doing som twist-grip checks for our maintenance department.https://spinwingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/img_1268.jpgIMG_1268After waiting for 3 hours we finally threw in the towel.
