Rotorheads Desktop Calendars (Archive Dec 03 - Dec 05)
Hows this for an idea. .
If the calendar can be hosted at the same URL every month, everyone can set their desktop to link to that URL so. . as soon as the next one is ready it will automatically appear on the desktop. . . ?

For various technical reasons, we can't do that.
Downloading the new image only takes a couple of minutes, even on a dial-up connection - less on broadband - and the arrival of the new calendar is always well-publicised.
We've been late on occasions but, from now on, we hope to have the calendar available on the 1st of each month.

February Desktop Calendar
This month's calendar is the first to be produced by John Eacott.
John already does a great deal for the forum - he's one of the two volunteers who host pictures for members without their own websites - and, starting this month, John and BlenderPilot will create the calendars on alternate months. Until now, Blender (alias Carlos) has created every calendar since we started producing them more than a year ago.
The picture we've chosen for this month's calendar isn't pretty or striking in the way the others have been, but it is intended as a Rotorheads tribute to all the helicopter crews who are working hard in difficult conditions to alleviate the terrible suffering caused by the tsunami disaster - including Vertalop from Malaysia who took the picture we've used.

Many thanks to John Eacott and Vertalop.

John, Heliport,
This calendar is really good, particularly because it makes us think extra effort those pilot's have to make when working in such difficult conditions to aid in one of history's worst natural disasters.
Congratulations to John E. for his first calendar, and a sincere thanks to all who are working in Indonesia helping others in their time of need.

El Calendario de Marzo
This calendar is optimized for a 1024x768 resolution, please let me know if I should start making the calendar in other monitor resolutions.
Could somebody please post the instructions on how to place it as a desktop on a PC ?

Blender,
another fine job: could you let us know who/where/what?
Re how to place on the desktop, the other right click instruction is "set as background".
Thanks

John,
I knew I had forgotten something!
The picture was taken by me, as I flew past this private heliport in the west part of Mexico City, the pad is located at almos 8,000 FT AMSL, (with today's OAT that gives about a + 10,000 FT DA) and the helicopter belongs to a man who also owns a Twinstar, A109 Elite, and an EC135 that sits on a yacht somewhere in the Pacific ocean.
Performance for this helicopter around here is depressing, he can only move 4 passengers for a 15 minute flight to the factory where he has to refuel before coming back with the same 4 passengers, the Agusta Elite can move 2 extra passengers for a 1 1/2 hour flight!
