#VerticalFlight
Always happy to see my friends even if they’re just practicing. The development of air ambulance in Ontario has been an absolute godsend to those of us in rural communities and I’m truly thankful for those who serve.

There is a new (plastic) brick store in downtown #Raleigh. 🧱 And they have, of course, aviation #Lego sets! 😬 Cool USCG-inspired series! 🚁🛩️✈️ #avgeeks #aviation #STEM #VerticalFlight #VTOLs

Enjoying the reading of Helicopter Heroine by Charles Morgan Evans–a biography of French aviator and neurosurgeon MGI Valérie André who passed away last January. Her absolutely epic life deserves the title of this book. 🇫🇷🚁 #aviation #aviationbookclub #helicopters #verticalflight

She is just a perfect, quite little helo and doesn't any need photoshop. 🤭 #verticalflight #vtol
I’m too tired to photoshop a smile on this Aerotécnica AC-12

Halfway through the excellent Westland #Aircraft & #Rotorcraft with a great deal of detail on past projects & top-notch techs from Yeovil. Westland merged w/ Agusta in 2000. AgustaWestland then merged into Leonardo in 2016. 🛩️🚁 #aviation #aviationbookclub #engineering #verticalflight #vtols

In the crazy Cold War-era #aircraft concept category, behold the Yakovlev VVP-6! About 50m-long, 24-turboshaft-powered #VTOL to provide logistics & SAM platform. Was supposed to be fielded along w/ VTOL fighters. Didn't go beyond conceptual design. 🚁 #defense #verticalflight

Interesting to see those small compound #aircraft on this artwork. The Fairey Gyrodyne flew about 15 years later. It paved the way for the larger Rotodyne. 🚁 #aviation #verticalflight #vtols
