DaveSHQ takes a seat on the judges bench this week,
and earned his spot with this shot :

And for the theme we're going from "WWII Warbirds!!" to...






"HELICOPTERS!!"

Judge DaveSHQ says:


"I was in the Army as a structure mechanic on just about every helo the US Army had. Coming from an Air Force family you'd think I'd be an all jet kid,
but I can't help but love the whop whop of a helo.

Since helicopter contest shots are rare for the next contest lets see
what you have in your inventory, military or civilian!!

Good luck."

Finally I get to bring out the ol' EH101 again!  It's been getting a bit rusty in the hangar, but I must admit, I still love it, and it still flys like a dream. :)

Though I have some BIG questions.
THE 28TH OF DECEMBER?!?!?!? :o :o :o  can we please make that more like the 28th of January? :o

And also, who's the judge? DaveSHQ like the title or DaveSJQ when it says _ takes a seat this time? ::)

Ooh. THIS is going to be a tricky one.
Looking forward to seeing some great shots 8-).
Great theme and Congrats Dave SHQ/SJQ :D
Don't worry, we all make Typo's ;)

Good shot by the way.

Good job on you too, jeffro3006.  I like the angle you caught on the aircraft. ;)

And now for my entry.

Final Flight
Alright trainee, this is your final flight, got it?  That means if you pass this one, we're sticking on the door guns and shipping you out to practice firing training, and then you're heading straight to the combat zone, so don't skrew this one up.  Now good luck. ;)

To be honest, I have absolutely no clue.  Please explain. :-? :P

i was just joking too. ::)
explains the smileys. ;)

After looking at all the great shots posted before I don't even know why I'm bothering ::).
I kept on procrastinating the image cause I can't stop flying that Rafale ;D.
Oh well.
http://www.simviation.com/phpupload/uploads/1327849999.jpg
Jetprop, NO FAVOURITE PLANES.  ;D When you do it again I swear I'm going to unleash my Ka-50 on your ah-1w :D

AHHHHHHHH-THE BLUR-IT BURNS!!!!!!   :D
Nice job!

And what airspace am I stay well clear of when you guys have this showdown?  :P

actualy,to be honest,i didn't even know it was one of his favourite aircraft. :P ;D

Nice shot!  The angle's great, but to be honest, it's a bit too blurry for me.  You do really well on the ones you do of being right behind a jet with it, it looks REALLY good there, but on the one's with a bit slower and the helis, it's just a bit much. 

And also, sadly, I'm afraid you might have been past the deadline.  You were in my timezone. :-/  You might want to check that.  I hope you weren't, it's still a good shot. :-/

Yeah right!  It's in 2/4 of his example shots!!! :D

actualy,only 1/4...
third one is an apache. ;)

Ok, Which other plane in his screenshots take 1/4 or more ;D.
My R-73s are on hold :D.

Thanks for being honest. I actually did that shot on a tight schedule. It looked much better when at full res :P.
But honestly as I stated before I don't really see myself winning this one. Or even coming into the finals ;).
But the reason for the blur is because I wanted the helicopter to be the centre. And I was also trying to replicate a pic of the DCS ka-50 I cannot seem to find.  :-[.
Good Luck to all

Your welcome.  And last time I checked, finals were for the main competition.
And Thanks! :)

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

[/qoute]Good Luck to all[/quote]*

GOOD LUCK!

You only put the / in the END brackets.  Don't put them in the front. ;)

Why not just use the quote button

Haha thanks... :P

BUMP

Is this still continueing?
Since its stopped for ages now,I think if the JC doesn't respond after a while there should be a poll instead.

Another bump but:
I think someone else should be judge now.
The judge isn't going to answer so...

The problem isn't that the JC hasn't responded..........

We lost the mods that were running the JC contest.......(Cantflywontfly and Patchz) :( :(

We're stretched pretty thin. Maybe when we get the Monthly Screenshot Contest going strong again we can take some time to revive the JC Contest ;)


Chuck

I messaged PatchZ a long time ago with winners and am assuming he left during that time.

1st to Jetprop.
2nd to Jeffro
3rd to Club508

The other entry was edited...didn't read the rules ;)

:) :) :)
I wasn't cheating! ;D
I was just using the best-quality helicopter I have... ;)

What happened to them?  I noticed they hadn't been posting as much lately, plus I haven't been around anywhere near as often lately, so I haven't heard a thing about them leaving.  What happened? :'( :-? :'(

Thanks! ;D :) ;D

Now...
What will I pick for the theme...

I think you have missed the point, Jetprop.
Pick all the themes you want....we still need someone to volunteer their time to run this thing, or we're just wasting time ;)

It may take ages for it to get someone.
And thats how long it'll take me to pick teh theme. ;D
