Thanks Blender, you post excellent shots for our enjoyment, keep up the great work !
I think it's wonderful to see so much of the world (with Heli's in each pic) right here on PPrune.

June Calendar?

Ahem, just wondering. My May calendar has run out of days.

[Heliport]

Strewth! Is it June already?
Doesn't time fly?

Sorry for the slight delay guys. BlenderPilot was made Head of Operations at his company last week so now has additional responsibilities over and above his work as a line pilot.
I'm sure everyone would agree he does a fantastic job for us each month so please be understanding.

Well, I take my hat off to you. Even your R/W/B pictures make me jealous. The Alpine machines look outstanding though. I see that you have Ken Grey there too. Great guy, I was a hangar sweeper at Highland when he was there.

Way back when Alf Pelletier was at the stick.

I look forward to seeing the skinny dark haired guy in the photos.

Do you still have the copy of that newspaper article of your "blind" twin helicopter pilot?

That was funny. I'll try to dig it up.

RH

[407 Driver]

Behold, the Greatest Paint job in the world, and that young skinny dark haired (407 Driver) guy hard at work....



Yes, I still do have that article..... and perhaps I should back up the clock ANOTHER 10 years to see the skinny guy??? That guy isn't so skinny???

[Canadian Rotorhead]

None of us are as skinny as 10 years ago, I only wish....

Here's one for you...



There are better shots, but I'll have to dig deep for those.

Cdn RH

[Canadian Rotorhead]

Absolutely, eh!

OK, we're going waaay back now, Autumn of '79.

Jan Rustad and I. I had 50 hours

206B C-GIFX Ashanola Valley, near Penticton B.C.

[Canadian Rotorhead]

Holy crap, I actually recognise that half chin visible in the captain's seat. And who wouldn't recognise Jan? Who's in the back seat?

Nice paint job. If I win the lottery tonight, I'll paint mine up the same way.




Tom Brooks cone picking to those who are wondering. Makes a heck of a mess in the back seat.

BlenderPilot, the natives are getting restless!
You are the victim of your own success. (Nicely done)!

Now I finally understand why i've always wanted to be a Jetranger's blade...
