Hi Tecpilot,

have heard about your amazing "high obstacle rescue" demonstration. According to rumours it was absolutely thrilling. There should be a video available...?

We used a picture of John Eacott firefighting at the Hydro Majestic as a calendar picture last year.

El Calendario de Marzo

This calendar is optimized for a 1024x768 resolution, please let me know if I should start making the calendar in other monitor resolutions.

Could somebody please post the instructions on how to place it as a desktop on a PC ?

right - click

simplest method is simply use the right-click over the image above & when the menu appears, select 'Set as Wallpaper'

Blender,

another fine job: could you let us know who/where/what?

Re how to place on the desktop, the other right click instruction is "set as background".

Thanks

John,

I knew I had forgotten something!

The picture was taken by me, as I flew past this private heliport in the west part of Mexico City, the pad is located at almos 8,000 FT AMSL, (with today's OAT that gives about a + 10,000 FT DA) and the helicopter belongs to a man who also owns a Twinstar, A109 Elite, and an EC135 that sits on a yacht somewhere in the Pacific ocean.

Performance for this helicopter around here is depressing, he can only move 4 passengers for a 15 minute flight to the factory where he has to refuel before coming back with the same 4 passengers, the Agusta Elite can move 2 extra passengers for a 1 1/2 hour flight!

Is it just me or are there no registration markings on that aircraft?

Minor glitch guys - the calender says March 2004

[Aesir]

If we had a world beauty contest then I think the B430/230/222 series would be a strong contender.

Great photo. But any chance you can change the March2004 to March 2005 . Not that i am pikky or anything.

Thanks

Well done to those of you who spotted the deliberate mistake.

BlenderPilot is away flying at the moment but we'll get it changed asap.

Superb picture BP.
