MD520

Front side view of a glossy black helicopter parked facing to the right on grass, with the motor slowly spinning and the pilots door open. The grey registration "N520EA" is on the side of the engine pods on top of the fuselage, and grey text "MD520N" is on the top of the twin tails at the end of the long, fat tail boom. Notably, there is no vertical rotor at the end of the tail boom. There are 2 people sitting in the heavily glazed cockpit, the person sitting in the right-hand seat wearing a white shirt, and using their hands to demonstrate something to the person in the left hand seat, who is wearing a blue shirt. Green grass fills the foreground, with people sitting or standing behind a green metal mesh fence in the background, and a curved, green corrugated metal hangar behind them on the left, and a large brown brick building on the right. Pretty much everyone in the photo is wearing sunglasses, so it is probably a sunny day.

A black helicopter hovering several metres above the ground. There are very few markings, the silver registration "N520EA" on the engine pod on top of the fuselage, and the white text "MD520N" at the top of the twin tails at the end of the long tail boom. Mown grass flies in the air being forced down by the large rotor blades. Several white light aircraft can be seen in the background at the bottom of the frame, a background dominated by a brown brick control tower with a heavily glazed white top floor, where a man standing on a balcony is taking of photo of the helicopter. Trees stretch across the frame in the distance, under blue skies.
