Just a beautiful photo!!!!!!!!!! The "Borgs" are often drab when viewed from the surface but with the green hatches and the beautiful water this is a great photo. I would imagine it would be a difficult landing what with the wind, movement of the vessel and especially the small vessel with the cranes on one side. I have never piloted helicopters but did a lot of getting in and out of them in rather difficult conditions in Viet Nam years ago. I guess it is easier to land them when no one is shooting at you!
Anyway, a beautiful photo. Thanks for posting.
