Seychelles Buried Treasure, Pirates, And James Bond
Seychelles is a cluster of 115 charming islands found in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, off East Africa. The archipelago serves as a tropical, luxury honeymoon hotspot but this island nation is much more than that with its gorgeous landscapes, abundant nature, and rich culture. The waters here show off a sensational spectrum of blues, greens and everything in between.

Bell Helicopters Protect Agriculture Against Locusts
Desert locusts, which live in land areas between west Africa and India, cause the most devastation and like to breed in moist conditions. Eggs hatch two weeks after they have been laid, and hoppers become adults after about six weeks. They live for about three months and during that time adult locusts can eat their body weight every day, and fly up to 150km a day in search of new supplies.

CAUTION WIRE STRIKE!
One of the numerous risks posed to helicopters that operate in a medium stretching from ground to a few thousand feet is the abundance of wires. Starting from the local cable guy who runs cables across the street to the farmer who wants to zipline his produce across valleys, to the high-voltage power lines that criss-cross the countryside, wires are an omnipresent hazard to low-flying choppers. Often invisible to the naked eye till it is too late, wire strikes claim a few helicopters and their crews every year. Here’s an example from my personal recollection.
