Rotorheads calendar June 2010
 

A slightly different photo for June’s calendar, thanks to Frank Hetzer. The EC135-P2 (Christoph 30) of ADAC Luftrettung was on a HEMS mission near Wolfenbuette, Germany, which involved landing on a track through a field of rapeseed. :ok:

And by popular demand, the week starts on Monday! :D

As always, for Windows users click on the thumbnail to open a higher resolution full picture, and then right click to select “Set as Background”. Mac users should select the background via System Preferences.

Wow, now that's a photo. I understand how they landed without fenestron injestion (downwash), but how did they take off without sucking on some greenery?

They put down on a track in the middle of the crop which made for a safe landing clear of the rapeseed. The perspective of the photo doesn't make it immediately apparent :ok:

Beautiful picture, but I prefer the week starting on Sunday

Tootle?
 

Does anybody remember 'Tootle' the steam train from the 'little golden books' series of kids books, circa the early 1950s? Pause.
I thought not. Well Tootle went off the rails, literally. Departed the straight & narrow to frolic with the daises in the meadow along the line. I recall Tootle got into trouble big time when some authority figure found out.
Anybody know what happens to choppers with a similar bent?

Great photo! But my eyes are starting to itch and now I'm sneezing.... :)
