[John Eacott]

The photo for May’s calendar was taken by Pat Davison of an R22 over the Northern Territory at sunset. Thanks to waragee for providing the image :ok:

As always, for Windows users click on the thumbnail to open a higher resolution full picture, and then right click to select “Set as Background”. Mac users should select the background via System Preferences.

I can imagine the photographer with a handheld...."up a bit, back...back..too far, forward and down....hang on thats it..."

or maybe the pilot held a steady hover and waited until the sun moved?;)

As always, great picture, and greater John for finding time to meld the picture into a calender ....

Nice pic, the rotor position makes it look like it's got stubby little MR blades. The next frame, a quarter turn later, would have showed a nice shallow cone I bet!

Just a reminder that the Calendar thread always needs good action photos of helicopters :ok:
