I have been waiting patiently to see this photo used on a calendar since it was first posted about a year ago. Top shot. :ok:

Hows this for an idea. .
 

If the calendar can be hosted at the same URL every month, everyone can set their desktop to link to that URL so. . as soon as the next one is ready it will automatically appear on the desktop. . . ?

Too gadgety?

:8

For various technical reasons, we can't do that.

Downloading the new image only takes a couple of minutes, even on a dial-up connection - less on broadband - and the arrival of the new calendar is always well-publicised.

We've been late on occasions but, from now on, we hope to have the calendar available on the 1st of each month.

Heliport

This calendar has become the melting point of British Punctuality and Mexican Time, that is the reason why its never too late, but never on time.

Beautifully put. :)

Knowing a little about your flying and Chief Pilot workload, I think it's amazing you find the time to help.
It's much appreciated. :ok:

Heliport

i agree... thanks should be said a little more often that the calendar is done when it's done...

haven't seen a bad one yet!!! :ok:

Gentlemen

I thank you for another magnificent photgraph. Put it up whenever and wherever you want, I will find it

February Desktop Calendar
 

Its not linking at present, is that because it aint quite Feb yet?

Edit: Got it. :ok:

It worked ok for me

Thanks John top work:ok:

Thanks boys

A good tribute to the people out there working.

My respect for the job done, and a good calendar.

John, Heliport,

This calendar is really good, particularly because it makes us think extra effort those pilot's have to make when working in such difficult conditions to aid in one of history's worst natural disasters.

Congratulations to John E. for his first calendar, and a sincere thanks to all who are working in Indonesia helping others in their time of need.

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 :ok:

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 :oh: :O

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

Thanks

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

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

Superb picture BP. :ok:
