Well done

407 Driver

Well done on winning the December Calender Competition. It has been a pleasure to see your photographic input on the forum, and also an honour to have met you too.

I look forward to seeing more of your quality photographs in the forthcoming year. Safe Flying.

A truly international effort and i am kinda proud to be a part of a pretty decent forum on PPRuNe.

Regards

MD

hI 407 Driver:

Those reverse scoops look rather large for a JRIII; are they a special mode?

Yes, specially designed high output scoops, polished and ported, NASA designed, very very expensive, but they do boost the 206 power to never-seen-before levels.

OK, I'll cut the , Actually, they are just some common old reverse scoops, very common in Canada ( same old ones that I flew with OKanagan back in the 70's anyway?).
You must be referring to those mini- Bell-type deflectors that just cover the front of the inlet?



Same scoops shown again here IHL,

Some pictures from flying the 44 for the police in St. Maarten


Checking out one of the oiltankers west of St. Eustatius.


The helipad at Saba, great little airport.
Seeing the Twin Otters land and take off from here is amazing.


In the St. Eusatius harbor, dropping off medicine to some boat.

Some good views down here!!

The type is hopefully King Sized as they are much more satisfying than standard mars bars!
