ON THE COVER: Roberto José Garcia Hernandez earned himself an Honorable Mention in this year’s ROTOR Magazine Photo Contest with this January 2020 shot of a Colombian Air Force Huey II conducting a firefighting mission in a nature park in Colombia’s Antioquia Department. Garcia Hernandez’s split-second timing forces the viewer to wait—just like the two figures in the Huey—to see where the water will fall. Turn to p. 55 to see more great photos of helicopters.
