July's Calendar
I'm sorry for the delay, it's been hell (and heaven too) around here, presidential elections here tomorrow, lots of work to do. I made a post so that you Ladies and Gentlemen would send me pictures for the calendar but as it turns out I didn't get any, and since I forgot about it until Heliport kindly remided me, I just used what I had in my hard drive.

For the rank amateurs among us, what are the various helicopters in the pics? I'm guessing the top left green jobbie is a jetranger, but not too sure about the others...

Ooh ooh can I be really girly?
Pandalet, the top left is green and black one, the bottom left is a red one. Top right is a white and yellow one and the bottom right is orange and grey!
Actually the bottom right one, is exactly the same colours as my Triumph Bonneville; they called the scheme Lucifer and Silver! Still orange and grey!!
I have to admit, I'm not good at identifying helicopters either especially from odd angles or where there's no indication of scale. I think the red one is a Long Ranger and the Lucifer/Silver is an A109. Might stick my neck out and suggest that the white/yellow one is a BK117?
Cheers

Bell 407, of course it is. I suppose the four blades is the cleverly hidden clue

Hey I didn't like the calendar myself but at least it got you guys thinking!
I thought it was great with a real good use of different colours, especially the 109, nice paint job!!
I look forward to the next installment

Thanks Whirly and jetflite - allowed me to look all knowledgable and smug in front of co-workers, right up to the point where someone asked me how many of those I could actually fly...
ah, well...one day!

I'm sure you could fly all of them; you just don't have a type rating!
If it makes you feel better, I'm not type rated on any of them either
