mutley 4,487 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Invigorated by a few hours in a heli viewing the delights of Manhattan made me think what better a subject for this months competition! So all fixed wing fanatics head over to http://www.avsim.com or http://www.hovercontrol.com and pick yourself up a whirlybird and get snapping! The shot can be any time, any place, any situation so long as the main subject is a helicopter (as defined here http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Helicopter ) I guess tilt rotors are in too. So good luck one and all, please take time to read the rules as there were a few disqualifications last month The closing date is 23:59 GMT Tuesday, 31st March 2009. Link to post Share on other sites

ddavid 149 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 You must have seen this film..... Two scenes will forever be in my memory: 1. Where the dad cuts himself from the rope and falls to his death (somewhere in Monument Vally) in order to save his son and daughter - attached to the same rope....... and 2. When the Pakistan Air Force helicopter runs out of air density when ferrying the rescue party up K2 - almost funny but not, considering the dangers that helo pilots regularly defy in order to carry out their S&R duties. Nice screen shot, BTW! Wish I could control the bl**dy things long enough to take one! This is about as good as it gets..... Mind you, Boss - if you like it then consider it an entry for Hover Bovver!! Cheers - Dai. :smile: Link to post Share on other sites

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 My 2 shots for the moment A Flettner FL282 Kolibri (Hummingbird) over Berlin A Wirlybird II (fictonal) again over Berlin If only I could fly the damn things!! I suppose the Flettner FL282 Kolibri is allowed, because it's a synchropter, defined by Wikipedia Nazi Germany would use helicopters in small numbers during World War II for observation, transport, and medical evacuation. The Flettner Fl 282 Kolibri synchropter was used in the Mediterranean Sea, while the Focke Achgelis Fa 223 Drache was used in Europe. Extensive bombing by the Allied forces prevented Germany from producing any helicopters in large quantities during the war. Link to post Share on other sites

Kelvin_C-J 0 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Unfortunately, Helicopters arent exactly my 'forte' but I decided to take a whack at it. Here's my two cents :- Flying too close for comfort to Canary Wharf; Trying an explicit manoeuvre (Don't try ths is real life!!); And, finally, adding a few gray hair's to a 'normal' flight; Link to post Share on other sites
