Preparations for the first helo flight... The Sea Launch helicopter is housed in a hangar on the Sea Launch Commander, with the helo pad just in front of it, at the fore of the ship.

Jeremiah Johnson, in training for his new role as Range Coordinator / Range Systems Engineer, is ready for the ride.

The helicopter is used to transport equipment, personnel and on occasion, our photographer, who captured these great images.
