January's Calendar

This month's Rotorheads calendar has one of the best helicopter pictures I have ever seen.

Thanks to Shawn Evans (Bag Swinnger) for taking such a great picture. That Nikon D80 is awsome in the hands of a good photographer!!

Widescreen 1280x800

Normal 1280x1024

Many thanks for your time and effort again. Great picture selection.

For February look no further than John Eacotts's piccies in the Helicopters and Snow thread. I think some of the fires shots are classics.

Many thanks to Carlos in Mexico for creating a superb desktop calendar to start 2007,

and to Shawn Evans for providing the stunningly beautiful photograph.

Yes, I thought it had been done to mark Christmas and was going to be titled 'No room at the Inn'

Lovely pic but if it's not been photoshopped did the pilot get out of the LH door?

Moosp,

If you take a good look at the picture (Helicopter and snow thread) you may recognise the guy sitting in the left seat......

I guess your best bet would be to PM the original posters: Hostile (for the 1st) and Hiro Protagonist (for the 2nd).

If you do get them, I'd love a copy too please.
