Tynecastle - There was a Pelita Puma at Medan when we were on our way through there but all it was doing was carrying some VIPS around and was decked out in a VIP config.

P.S. Am home now but going back to BA straight after Heli Expo, leaving direct from LAX to HK and then Jakarta to jump on a Herc up to BA.

These are a few pics from a friend at Heli Harvest here in NZ, they have a Mil-8 working up there.

This topic is great!

I took all these pictures while on a recent trip in which I flew for MTV's shows Road Rules, The Real World and The Inferno, one of the jobs was to drop some fake money from low altitude all over a Golf Course and have the contestants collect some of it, over all it was al lot of fun, the location was the Grand Bay hotel in Barra de Navidad in the Pacific.

This is a small colonial city on the way there.

This small volcano is called Paricutin and is still active

After the eruption of the volcano in the previous picture the only thing left of the town was this stone church, and now its all surrounded by hardened lava.

A few pics from a fire in north west Victoria, Australia last week. In the last pic note the ground speed on the GPS of 83.3kts and the indicated airspeed of 40kts!

And a few from further north.......

Took these shots from 10,000' of Ayers Rock (or Uluru depending on your cultural sensitivity.) Took these whilst flying a photographer who was shooting some still photos to superimpose UNDER a Qantas 747 for a new ad.

RS2,

Your pictures are beautiful, you not only captured great angles of helicopters, but the contrast, depth, saturaration and outstanding sharpeness are evident.

Can you tell us what equipment are you using?

I really like the fact that they are perfectly suited for web display since they are just the right size 800 x 600 pixels, they show full in any monitor and don't make the thread too slow to load, especially for dialup users.

Muchas Gracias

Hey Hollywood,

You mean Qantas get the ads at the Rock again? Maybe you should try for the group shot of your aircraft with it in the background, got a spare "donation" for the community at hand?

More to follow!

Benet

I've reduced the size of your picture because it was too big for most monitor settings.
700-750 pixels width is good for most pics.
If it's an exceptional shot, go up to 800 but no more.
(Yours was 1200)

BlenderPilot,

Thanks for your kind comments, I do like helicopters as a photographic subject above other forms of aviation.

I use all Canon gear, traditional and digital although all the shots on here are taken using the digital.

Some were taken on a D60 others on a 10D as I traded my D60 in for a 10D about 14 months ago.

I still love the quality and colour reproduction of E6 transparency film but have yet to find a good quality reasonably priced scanning service hence the images I have posted are off the digi rather than wet film.

As they are taken on the D60 or 10D they come out in the traditional wet film proportions of 6x4 so I simply resize them to 800pixels wide before I post them on here.

Cheers

RS2

Cool shots! If we brighten up the lighting effect just slightly in the first picture, it would make a PERFECT PPRuNe calendar for August. Well, I suppose it will be cooler whether down under, but the summer storms will be in full swing up here.

With thanks as always to John Eacott - who for reasons best known to himself was at work on Saturday! - here are some shots from the cockpit of Kuwait Police EC135s.

The first 3 are in the ILS pattern at Kuwait International:

The next 3 show that it does rain in desert countries, sometimes:

and finally for now, back to the dashboard theme:

Pictures were uploaded to John using the new hotmail image attachment thingy which keeps file size down but limits width to 600 pixels - not always a good idea.

February Desktop Calendar

This month's calendar is the first to be produced by John Eacott.

John already does a great deal for the forum - he's one of the two volunteers who host pictures for members without their own websites - and, starting this month, John and BlenderPilot will create the calendars on alternate months. Until now, Blender (alias Carlos) has created every calendar since we started producing them more than a year ago.

The picture we've chosen for this month's calendar isn't pretty or striking in the way the others have been, but it is intended as a Rotorheads tribute to all the helicopter crews who are working hard in difficult conditions to alleviate the terrible suffering caused by the tsunami disaster - including Vertalop from Malaysia who took the picture we've used.

Click on the link below - if you're on a dial-up connection, it's best to Right click and then Save target as ...

Click here

Many thanks to John Eacott and Vertalop. :ok:

TI,

It does need a wash badly but I ran out of duty time :ok: and the water restrictions aren't helping either! The rain associated with the storm wasn't heavy enough for me to get out there in my Reg Grundy's and do it either! :yuk:

Cheers,

Crab,

Looking at your twin tv set up, it seems that you need to take a look at the FLIR installation. Looks to me that it has been put on upside down!!:E :E

212Man,

We've not had serviceable autopilots since last August; the 50 deg C OAT limit sadly doesn't seem to apply to the autopilot system, which usually kicks off after about 10 mins with the temp above 40-45 deg C. I was going to include a description of the reason why we don't have the appropriate spares, but decided this isn't the appropriate forum to discuss such matters :cool:

You might also have noticed the lack of a "sand filter" indication in the bottom pic. Same reason as above.

212man

31st January 2005 09:40

T and B, Ah, I see! Do you have problems with the FCDMs as well then, as I assume they sit in the same rack? (AP is straddled by FCDMs in the 155.)

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.
