Rotorheads calendar August 2009

[John Eacott]

We are lucky enough this month to have a photo from Ned Dawson, one of the best aviation photographers today. He took the photo of a 71st SOS USAF CV-22 north of Albuquerque, New Mexico mid July 2009.

I'm probably going to get into trouble for this but that ain't a helicopter!

I should have seen that one coming :hmm:

Take no notice John, just the bleatings of an old luddite. If it can hover it qualifies for the brotherhood right? For what it's worth I'm happy to accept other variants on a theme, quite happy with the concept of that X2 for instance.

As usual, excellent photo. Thanks guys!

I've got a cracking photo of my old man doing the lawn with his Flymo, I'll forward it to you as soon as I can dig it up.............

I think John is just being politically correct. You know like the adverts for posh private schools in predominantly rich, white suburbs where they lean over backwards to have a black kid in the pics.

Just to stop you all bitchin at John I will send him a photo of a "real" helicopter for September.

Unless I've missed something, this Forum is called Rotorheads, and includes threads on helicopters, autogyros and tilt rotors :confused:

Thanks for the photo, Ned: great calendar shot :ok:

[Fareastdriver]

Call it what you may. I would love to fly that.

Thanks again for the calendar: looking forward to next month's :ok:
