Forward-looking? Chuck, it's on the side of the aircraft... ;)

This mount and config is common to every other Federal 3 letter agency in DOJ and DHS that operates the C-206, and there are many. The forward view is quite good with high magnification and stabilization. And the camera/sensor slews in 360 when locked on a TOI.

Did that -60B sideflare that approach. Crewman looks like he’s going to fall out.

Correct. I can't tell who's who in that pic, but I think both crewmen are nuggets, based on some of the other pics. Or one of them is the senior crewman. It's tough to tell. The PAC was a 2P and our OIC is in the left seat. I was jealous because I'd never done forward VERTREP before and wanted to try it. I ended up getting to do it on my next deployment.

If I'm remembering the events of the picture correctly, it was only 3 or 4 pallets which I believe would have totaled around ~2400 kilos or ~$48 million 2004 dollars of product that morning.

That has the makings of quite the FITREP bullet!
