The San Diego Gas & Electric S-64 Aircrane.  Enormous, you could almost fit a full-on weber grill into the exhaust.  

The circular apparatus to the right of the exhaust is the rotor brake.

BAJA 500 Evening Dress Shoot

I just landed at the Ensenada hospital, and as usual the helicopter was immediately accosted with curious families and kids from the neighborhood. As impoverished as most of them are they all have phones with cameras, and they queue up to take family portraits.

I had never seen a couple like this, though, a rare glimpse into Mexico's discreet middle class showing up with everyone else for a photo.

If I had been the least bit fluent in Spanish I would have told her she had fabulous heels.
