Okay!! somebody get the net!

[22clipper]

The military has begun work on a ratings scale for the attraction of different surfaces to chopper pilots in strife. The new scale is calibrated with flat level ground equal to zero. Empirically obtained results so far are +3 for calm water and -5 for jungle.

"Hey Bloggs....your Penguin is out begging for Sardines again!"

[twinstar_ca]

:ok::D

[Helicopspeeder]

Beats me captain, it was a standard Chinook size pitot tube this morning, then they arrived and it's just been getting bigger ever since!

[Helicopspeeder]

OK, thanks ladies, probe's up to operating temp now, crew says they need to be brought up to temp too!

[birrddog]

The 160th loads up for another important Special Ops mission, closely supervised by a full-bird colonel....

[chcoffshore]

When i said put the pitot cover on i didn't say grease it aswell!

[ShyTorque]

OK girls, that's big enough, thanks. Now see how quickly you can get the other side extended.

What penquin?

[xcrider]

The british high command concludes, after launching a probe into the use of "heli insertion ops" during the Faulklands conflict, that while not overly effective they were rather enjoyable.

[Ascend Charlie]

I see they now provide a window for the guy pedalling the front rotor up there in the pylon.

The dude at the back door is about to turn on the pitot heat so the cold beavers and penguins can be warmed up.

[Flingingwings]

The girls always enjoyed ground resonance test day.

[birrddog]

Sassy, time for a winner and a new caption perhaps?

[Dantruck]

Birdstrike ?

[21lefthand]

Good one Dantruck

[minigundiplomat]

That concludes the recirculation demo, any questions?

[HELOFAN]

Done in your best David Attenborough voice....

"With its keen sence of smell it would seem that even the Magellanic Penguin has been lured from its normal migratory track in promise of what would appear from a distance be, a school of bait fish".

[SASless]

I'll give it to DanTruck for his simple post....."Birdstrike?"

Over to you Danny....will look forward to seeing what you come up with.

[Dantruck]

Golligosh SAS !:)

That's two things I've ever won, and both were Pprune caption competitions.:ok:

OK... I've got the photo; a print from Helidays; a positive orgy of rotorcraft held annually in the UK, as some of you reprobates will know. Trouble is, my scanner just up'd and died on me. :{

Talk amongst yourselves while I work out how to get it up :eek:... loaded, that is.

Hmmm... my negative g strap is a bit loose. I think I'll just pull it up a bit and... ooops....:sad:

[ShyTorque]

"By jove - pardon me - Oops!"

[chester2005]

i wonder what this button/lever does????

When the pilot finally realized that he was not flying a helicopter he decided to make a hasty exit.

".....into the air Junior Birdman!"

Or.....Lt. Brown Bar's flying career ended as it had seemed to be progressing....like he was riding a flaming rocket!"

Red Arrows Lead heard over the public address system....."I say Chaps....can we top that?"

This pic reminds me of what happened to a BA executive in first class on my last flight to the US...He was ejected for throwing his canape' and was later fired.:rolleyes:

[Heli-Ice]

Ok guys, don't light your fart when flying these things...!

Bob suddenly remembered it was happy hour at the O Club...

[blakmax]

Thank God this thing doesn't have rotors!

[SASless]

Bloggs proves he is a real flaming a--hole!

[Squeaks]

That's what happens when you use a photo of a fixed wing in Rotorheads: nothing!

Now, this one should get some responses :cool:

http://www.airplane-pictures.net/images/uploaded-images/2009-2/28/38083.jpg

[albatross]

The most obvious punch line -

Debbie, a former blonde, attempts to push start the helicopter.

[kevin_mayes]

Debbie had found a new way of earthing out the static discharge on landing by using the free end of the headset lead...

[Non-PC Plod]

Having missed the helipad before, Debbie knew the score and assumed the position!

[Scissorlink]

I don't care about her, I am more worried that there is a purple R44 in existence.. WTF !!

[ShyTorque]

"Are you sure it will roll away without the chock?"

[212man]

Once again, it was Bonus time at Helidosa - "don't bonus, we'll bone you!"

[Pandalet]

"Stupid brunettes - don't they know the sand dunes only have LEMO sockets?"
-- A Blonde

[toptobottom]

Debbie had seen some big purple choppers in her time, but this one was definitely going to need some extra warm up stretches

[Svenestron]

"Heartbroken at the sight of the big, gentle, stranded creature, Debbie began pushing it back out to sea."

(But my vote is with Non-PC Plod.. damn right she should assume the position..:ok:)

[Dantruck]

"Listen Buster...
You may come with a manual, but he enjoys using the tie-downs more when I'm around"
:E

[iainms]

I dont remember eating that !:confused:

[albatross]

Svenestron
I think yours is a winner.

"Heartbroken at the sight of the big, gentle, stranded creature, Debbie began pushing it back out to sea."

Very funny! Not to mention it will appeal to the tree huggers among us.

One has to wonder at the original artistic intent of the pose. Perhaps not.
Perhaps there is a pissed off redhead at the tail rotor pushing the other way.

How about: "Encountering the strange creature Science Officer Debbie attempts a Vulcan Mind Meld."

[Squeaks]

Some excellent captions so far :D

Check back Sunday night at 21:00Z, and I'll pass the baton to the next player. Have an image ready to go, and we'll keep this thread moving :ok:

[SASless]

Blonde wearing a wig....."Awesome! You can hear the sea when you wear a headset!"


"Fiona waits patiently for her debriefing by the Captain."

Franks latest model the rrrrrrrrrrr44!!

[Heli-phile]

Hoping to meet her Prince, Debbie bent down to kiss the ugly purple frog!!!:}

[Heli-Ice]

New pilot Debbie: "I thought I was going to be riding choppers at work, not just pushing and polishing them!"

or

"Must push chopper out of picture... it is too purple!"

or

"Wow a purple helicopter!, this one is coming home with me"

or

"Machines of this colour are best kept under water and out of sight of sane people"

or

"Oh my!, a camera aloft, I must make a pose tihihihi..."

or

"I can wash your chopper anytime"

Sorry people, I just got carried away a bit

[Squeaks]

Albatross was a good start, with

Debbie, a former blonde, attempts to push start the helicopte

SASless was close with

Awesome! You can hear the sea when you wear a headset!

but Svenestron has to be the winner with

Heartbroken at the sight of the big, gentle, stranded creature, Debbie began pushing it back out to sea.

Over to you, Purple Leader ;)

At last the Brittish gov find some thing to suit their buget !

You dare move that tail rotor back to where you were thinking, and I'll bite your b*lls off!

Not only was Da Vinci clever, but he was also smart - there was no way he was going to be the first one to try it out....

Britain's Beagle 3 mars mission... ...sticking to known technology this time.

[Pandalet]

After the recent increase in birdstrikes, the government has decided to invest heavily in bird-scaring technologies. They expect to have a working prototype by late 2018.

[zhishengji751]

Flea Air Cav!

[Nf stable]

....but the new prototype was prone to dynamic roll-over whilst peeing.

[Heli-Ice]

Say Frank, this new GRRR-K9 is a bitch to fly and wags its tail like the dog it is...

[rotorrookie]

its “Oddie bin Laden” was that performs as a moving target at for the Taliban’s at their RPG shooting practice :ok:

or

“GWB” the dog was captured by the Taliban’s in Afghanistan and now he is used as a moving target at their RPG shooting practice

[grizzled]

"Grrr hound control, this is Army 10454, over."

(With he the tell-tail noise of "wag -a, wag - a, wag - a" in the background . . .)

Sorry.

[birrddog]

This experienced Rotor Hound was unhappy at being forced to fly a light single, even though he had been thrown a bone.

[SASless]

The US Army DARPA Representative reported there had been some unexpected test results that determined additional effort needed to be expended to sort out a few C3 issues with the new "Heat" sensing targetting system on the Bird Dog II aircraft.

[Tarman]

. . . . . . . . ."that is it's 4th Bone Dome this week, it keeps burying them !:)

[Heli-Ice]

Newsflash...

The US Army and US Coast Guard let the dogs out in the anti-drug war...

or

The US Armys' new equal opportunity policy involves having guide dogs for visually impaired helicopter pilots...

[Rigga]

Sometimes, it could just be easier to take the dog for a walk.

[LookingUpInHope]

In some countries, the rescue dogs get brandy. None of that for me, oh no...

[birrddog]

It's been 5 days since the last post, so I'll call the winner.

Shout outs go to :

"My, what a big pitot you've got!"

[heliboy999]

The pilot had been overheard in the bar the night before that he had a huge vibrator!

[500e]

They weren't lying then I have been told they vibrate like the proverbial.

[PatMcgroin]

OK OK you were right , those are not snail tracks on the probe!:}

[ShyTorque]

No Chief, I haven't fitted the wrong pitot tube. It was only the same size as the left one until they sat on it..

[John R81]

Time to breath life into this thread. I can only think of

Answer to life, the universe and everything.

Which somehow reminds me of his assertion that the ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.

Quite apt given these offspring :ok:

"Woops! Sorry Ma, guess it musta bin sump'n I ate!"

"From tiny Acorns....or something like that!"

[LookingUpInHope]

"...And one day, if you eat plenty of gearboxes and drink lots of oil, you'll grow up to be big and strong just like Mummy!"

[John R81]

I did think of one, but as the owner of one of the R44;s I thought it unkind.

Think of David Attenborough......

"And to track down one of the larger animals, it is vital to be able to identify its droppings"

Reality:
The crew (German airforce) ran from their machines to photo the two arriving R44s. They claimed not to know that such small helicopters were made! And, YES, we did arange to leave before they started-up!

[CYHeli]

Seriously? That's your security?

[Harry the Hun]

This picture was taken on the occasion when Frank Robbinson took a closer look at the 53 and came up with the Idea of using the 53s APU as a propulsion for a 44. This way the 66 was born.

As we can see here, the Harke species represents perhaps one of the most extreme cases of sexual dimorphism outside of the anglerfish family. However, the male and female of the species seem to be able to mate quite successfully, and just a few months later a new brood of newly hatched Mi-10s will appear at its traditional breeding grounds in Moscow.
