My 2 yrs MILESTONE!!

 

I am delighted to report today October 22nd, 2009 officially marks my 2 yrs Anniversary at Astrum Helicopters.  As I reflect on my first day at work. Thinking how long will I last. Not only a new beginning in my life but a completely different field of work. I have always been an outdoors person working in the tourism industry as a tour guide snorkeling, cave tubing etc.. But, being the type of individual i am; I was ready for the challenge.

I must say though after a few months it began taking a toll on me. It was not as easy as i thought it would be, being full time in an office. They where many bumps but, with the great advice from my mom, family, friends & Co-workers. I made it to this milestone, through all the hurdle’s. Really coming out of my comfort zone & trying something different. I am very ecstatic about the experience i have gathered over the years i have been here at Astrum Helicopters. Working with different Agents, booking tours & meeting my clients most of all.

They where many fun times too in & out of the office. Have you ever heard the statement “seeing is believing”. I agree totally with this. As I soar across the country of Belize I have develop a new appreciation for this priceless Jewel Belize. From the hidden waterfalls, mountains, caves, rivers and pristine reef i have seen it. The flexibility of the helicopter to capture that memory is priceless as Mr. Gustavo Sr. maneuvers with great skill. Hopefully one day he will pass on these skill to me. LOL!! Yeah, my favorite trick is the hammer head!! The time went by so quickly, i can’t believe it is 2 yrs already & i would not have not change anything through out my journey here. There so much to say but i have attached some pics to further some up the good times at Astrum.

Astrum Helicopter's New Members of The Family!!!!

 

They say animals are man's best friend and I agree!! They are always sweet and loving and the best part they don't talk back!!! It is never a dull moment when new animals are found at  our Heliport. Everyone comes out and view them and some of us get pretty daring. So I would like to share those happy moments with you of our Astrum's wildlife family from Snakes to Scorpion and our newest member Butch. He is a mix with Rottweiler & Doberman! Butch is spoiled!! You see, everyone loves him up and especially his Grandpa Gustavo who always buys him new treats & toys. We each take turns to watch, play or walk him and even endure his mischievousness at times. But all in all he is a very smart and obedient dog and takes commands well. Below are pictures of our new FAMILY members!! Enjoy

Lights Camera Action!!!

  

Everyday is a unique day at Astrum's Heliport. Some times it can be slow but sometimes it comes with alot of ACTION!!! The Tiger Aspect Production Crew from London filming stop in on their trip to Belize to film with our Bell 206 B3 Jet Ranger Helicopter. They were doing a documentary in Belize and we were proud to be apart of it. They are the first production crew to use our GYRO Stabilizer Mount. This mount makes filming smooth and easy.

               

It was so much fun to see the Helicopter do tricks in the Air and move like it was soooo easy!! One trick I like especially was the Hammer head! Oh boy!! I wanted to be in the Helicopter so bad!! Everybody had their own responsibility in this Documentary shoot. My role was the Astrum Helicopter's photographer, Gustavo Jr. was the Overseer, and Gustavo Sr. was the pilot. Working with Helicopters is a very fun job and days like today you really appreciate the opportunity to work with them. Below I have provided some of my work for your enjoyment.
