Ah ..... I didn't know that.

Looks like my French title line was on the wrong track after all. :D

Isn't Rotorheads great? Learn something new every day. :ok:

Hi All

Just picked up on this thread

Yep - flew XW895 on a few occasions in 1979- including May 2 with "donny O", June 14 with DH and also solo, passed my IHT in her, took part in AirDay Balbo in her with DH again, and lastly strapped into her for my Captaincy Check with "Barry B" July 31 st.

Seem to recall we had to collect "4 Star General" from HMS Raleigh Helipad, then find a tactical landing site near Bodmin, then "expanding square" search over Lizard before hurtling around Zennor needing to twitch the collective a tad to clear the dry stone walls ! Awesome.

MD600 ?

I now live just down the road from Tadcaster - what I wouldn't give to have another "go" in this fabulous machine.
I do however promise to fly her in a more sedate manner !!

Here's hopefully !

Wondering about international things. How come all English (and now French or Spanish) calendars start with Sunday? In Sweden our calendars weeks starts with monday.

Is there a good reason for this except long tradition?

Cheers!

Tradition is mostly the reason, but there is some data to consider. The bible declares the sabbath to be the last day of the week. From other sources, it appears that at the time of Christ the sabbath corresponds with our Saturday. The Russian word for Tuesday (вторник) means second, indicating a history of starting the week with Monday. Other languages follow this as well.

To set things straight, ISO created the standard, ISO-8601, that among other things, set the first day of the week to be Monday.

Now I know why I am a helicopter pilot and not an astronaut!
 

Damn! I knew there was something wrong with that calendar, it comes from doing it at 0300 after a days work, sorry.

December Calendar is here!
 

OUTSTANDING...
 

I'm having a hard time deciding if May, July, or December is the best one of the year. Well done!

Awesome picture!
Congratulations 407 Driver. :ok:

Photograph by a Canadian, chosen by a Brit, calendar produced by a Mexican and hosted by an Australian, what an amazing international forum Rotorheads is!

A big THANK YOU to Heliport and Blenderpilot for giving us wonderful calendars every month.
Please keep doing it. I look for forward to the new one every month. :ok:

Heart warming International cooperation example.
Indeed a great job.

Here is looking at you kid.
 

How many faces can you see in the rock formations. I counted at least six.

:E :E

Couldn't see faces, but isn't that the sasquatch with a case of kokanee on the right?

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...

Blender has sent the calendar to me to host, it is at this link.

A fairly large image, but worth the download. Wish we had snow like that down here :ok:

Many thanks to all involved in the release of this. As usual a brilliant shot that makes us all want to be there...
