What a great thread - thanks for sharing these with us.
RobboRider - the Soviets' choice of light blue cockpit paint schemes for their aircraft was reportedly based on studies showing that this was the most relaxing color for aircrew. (Gunship - were you always relaxed when flying the Hind operationally, or did Natasha make this impossible....?
).

The picture was taken on June 24, 2003 at Abbott Pass elev 9,500'. The Pass is just a few miles west of Lake Louise Alberta, and is on the Rockies Continental Divide. The surrounding peaks are around 11,000'.
We fly in to the pass several times a year to service an old stone mountian climbers Hut built around the turn of the century.
Another less dramatic picture of the pass...

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.
