Lads out & about
There are some true Universals in this life & I think a bunch of blokes on a cross country flying trip must be one of 'em. That 'dog-off-a-leash' look on the guy with the PaleAle is a gem & I suspect cockpit farts smell the same the world over? The Oz RotorHeads are gonna have to do Oshkosh one of these years!

Organisational skills
After a decade with the Sydney based RotorHeads the one thing I've learned John is, an organiser I'm not! Getting a trip is like pulling teeth, half the group just ignore the emails & the other half can never agree on the destination/date. I think the old 'press gang' idea is the way to go with pilots kidnapped in their sleep.
Sasless' link (which was excellent - many thanks) made me dig out my photie album from 1987 (when I were still single'n'appy...) and my trip to Oshkosh. I hadn't realised how lucky I was not to see a single thunderstorm.
Handy, what say you we brush off our PPL(A)s and nip over for a look around Wisconsin some year, eh? Assuming I can find mine - haven't used it for, ooh - 19 years.

September Calendar
I'm sorry but so far I have only one calendar resolution 1024x768, those of you who have larger monitors can set the background to black and center it and it will look great.
I will try to post a widescreen version a little bit later, sorry for the delay.
If you do like the calendar the absolute credit goes to the photographers who took these amazing shots!!

Pandalet,
The top left is a Mil Mi-8. Big Rooshan beasty.
The bottom left is actually a Bell 430. The same airframe as the 222 but with a 4-bladed hub.
