Time will tell how good V-22 is.

By the way, OGE ceiling of 5000 feet is at MGW.

Even Ch-47D does not hover OGE at 10K density at MGW!

Apache at Fairford UK
I didn't take this picture. It was sent to me by a friend in England.




Bronx
The picture was taken at RIAT (Fairford) by Nick Blacow who posts on PPRuNe as Man-on-the-fence.

Well done Nick Blacow - great shot.

"if its remembered this time"

Bear in mind that BlenderPilot who's very generously been creating our calendars from the beginning, and John Eacott who's now kindly helping share the workload, are both volunteers.

Nice of them to edit out the copyright data

Where did your friend get it from, I think I need words.

Thanks for the correction Mod.

Smile August 2005 calendars

I was spoilt for choice this month, with some stunning shots from RS2 of the RNLAF Apache at RIAT: too hard to choose which one to use, so there is a choice

Also an action photo of CHC's Helimed One from LaTrobe Valley winching into a crash site here in Victoria after a blizzard: difficult conditions, full marks to the Kestrel pilot who found the white aircraft wreck in the snow.



and a couple of widescreen versions:

NB: Expand the image first, and then save the expanded image as background.

A rescue last night for a downed Para-glider pilot.
Bell 407 ALF arrives from neighboring Canmore Base to fly the class D sling rescue. We are class D capable in CYGE, but had NO ground crews available!





We staged from a BC Forest service mountain top repeater site at 7,800'.



Pilot Ken Gray flying the rescue. The orange line seen from the LH side of the aircraft to the hook is the hydraulic release
for the second hook.



Banff Park Warden Percy Woods inbound with the victim



Banff Park Warden Terry Willis receving the patient



I flew the patient to CYGE hospital with 206L3 ALJ
