Quote HistoryQuoted:
We wanted to represent the wide scope of missions and uses of the helicopter. Going with the fade allowed us to also produce a more artistic over all feel with the background too. With the subtleness of the fade, most people don't even notice the ""Blackhawk medevac" side until they walk to the inside of the display room. Then they see the Katrina/Michael rescue scenes behind it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Why did you go with a split theme on the appearance of the helicopter? With the subtleness of the fade, most people don't even notice the ""Blackhawk medevac" side until they walk to the inside of the display room. Then they see the Katrina/Michael rescue scenes behind it. I think it adds to it. Very impressive project |

Ive got the HMX-1 flag in the case and hopefully have the certificate frame stained to match.
If they dont close down the school for floor refinish, I might be able to get in there later in the week and get them hung up. |

Update 7/22
Floors were dry, and I only got caught by the Principal and Vice Principal sneaking into the school to install the new HMX-1 flag and certificate.   
 Not sure if I showed this off before but members of the 101st Airborne sent two flags and two certificates. One was for me to put up in my home. This one was flown by Shadow Dustoff, Charlie Company 6-101 AVN RGT (Air Ambulance) on a medevac mission in TAAC-East, Afghanistan. I'm extremely humbled.  
I found a perfect spot right next to a pastel drawing by one of my former students.

Round these parts, it's only 3 or 4 weeks till school starts. We need some kind of system wide AR15.com alert when you start the new project thread. |

Little update today.
It's been the question of the day to me for many over the last few months, and I've stressed enough about it this summer, but I had an epiphany last night before bed, and now have the basic idea for the next project.  It's amazing what it's done to my attitude about the upcoming year. I've been dreading the start of classes in a few weeks, but now I'm looking forward to it.  As many of you know already, our spaces are limited, and one of our last build areas is next to the Agricultural and Robotics classrooms. They approached me last year about building there, and are supportive of the idea, but want it related to their classrooms. Thats been the tough part. Building a tractor is not the most exciting idea to me, but with some suggestions from many of you, I think I've got a base idea that is going to be exciting and very relevant to my students and current events. There will be a tractor featured, but the environment will morph from our local WY fields, to the Martian landscape. No we won't be saving Matt Damon  , but some of the agronomy and agricultural ideas in the film will be explored in the display. Will there be a rocket? SpaceX? Maybe. I've got an idea in my head for that, but I need to go do some panning in the actual area a bit.So there it is.  I'll be starting the new thread in the coming weeks. Hopefully by then I'll have roughed out the idea a bit more so that Arfcom can do what it does best and tweak it to perfection.

Electric farm equipment with solar powred charging station.
There was some work done with fuel cell electric tractors in the late '50s and early '60. You might get some inspiration there.

Nothing that's been on a farm more than a day isn't dirty and/or rusty. It's some sort of fundamental law of nature or something. Add in Mars as a backdrop, the hardware store might wonder why needed 20 gallons of various reddish brown colors. Reminds me of something...

Too funny today.
I've been going in and getting some ordering done the last few days. I always walk by the displays and trip the sensors to watch them.
Today I trip Marine One and all I get it flashing lights. Then I reset, and they do it again. I hear the door motor move, but no door to go with it. 
Then I notice the pattern in the lights. Dit, dit dit, dot, dot dot, dit, dit, dit,..... (repeating) Its blinking SOS. Our Robotics student very much went above and beyond with this. I looked inside and the chain connector had broken. I replaced it and reset the program and all is up and working again.

Had a good laugh today. I may have heard this before and posted about it, but I don't remember. I was checking on the wire that connects the door to the chain, and pushed the "program stop" switch. When I was done and turned it all back in, Jabba The Hut started laughing at me.
It was pretty funny. Our Robotics/valedictorian has quite the sense of humor.
