Helicopter/Drone Digitally Enhanced Photos


Sean Slebrich Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA


Allegheny Health Network’s LifeFlight fleet has five Airbus EC145s, which were introduced in 2007. Te EC145 is a light, twin-engine helicopter with a cruising speed of 130 kt. and maximum speed of 145 kt. Te EC145’s wide- open, rear-loading cabin allows maximum flexibility to accommodate medical equipment, up to three medical crew members, and a Ferno Powerflexx stretcher. “No matter how many times I have an


opportunity to photograph a helicopter during takeoff or landing, it always feels as exciting as if it was for the first time,” says Slebrich. “Te power and magnitude of these aircraft up close is, quite literally, breathtaking. By creating a trusting relationship with the pilots and crew, we’re able to collaborate as teammates, enabling an environment that allows for a view seldom seen.” For this shot, a LifeFlight EC145 takes off from Pittsburgh-Butler Regional Airport (KBTP).
