2025 Bearhawk Calendar

[Nev]

Greetings Bearhawk Community!

The time has come to compile photos of Bearhawks for a 2025 calendar. With the help of NZ Bearhawk owners Murray Paterson, Grant Bisset, myself and the team at Bearhawk Aircraft, we are asking everyone to submit your favorite pictures of your Bearhawk to ensure the best possible outcome for the calendar.

We will be selecting 16 photos based on the following criteria:

• Bearhawks in ground or air to air photos.
• Landscape mode only please.
• Please submit your photos in the highest resolution possible.
• Post as many photos as you like.
• The final selection will likely have more aircraft, less people, to allow us to highlight the amazing aircraft. However don't let that stop you from submitting your favorites with kids, family's, beach BBQ's etc.
• Add captions telling us where the photo was taken (City, State, Country) and who should receive credit for the photo.
• By submitting a photo you are agreeing to allow Bearhawk Aircraft to use it and the information provided for Bearhawk advertising purposes as well as the 2025 calendar.
• In addition to emailing the high res photos to media@bearhawkaircraft.com please also post your photo below here on the forum for inspiration !!

So, get cracking folks and send your submissions to media@bearhawkaircraft.com and then also post them below - we would love to see them. Have your submissions in by October 20th to allow our team to review submissions and compile the calendar in time to take the calendar to print.

If you are interested in purchasing calendars, please also email media@bearhawkaircraft.com indicating where you are located and how many calendars you would want.

Any questions you have regarding the Bearhawk calendar, please contact Mackenzie Irwin at mackenzie@bearhawkaircraft.com or Murray Paterson at murray@wawltd.co.nz

Hard to top that!

Speaking as someone who made the calendars for a while, send them to McKenzie instead of posting them here! I love seeing the pics of course, but getting a new surprise picture in the calendar is even better.

[Nev]

Thanks for pointing this out Jared - I'll edit the original post. But we would still like to see them posted here - as well. Some great inspiration.
Please email photo submissions to media@bearhawkaircraft.com

Photos are inspiring. You might Consider posting the photos don't make the cut.

[500AGL]

I actually sent “a few” to Macadoodle, but figured one here would help inspire.

Here’s one that shouldn’t be in an inspiration to fly.

Below are several of Murray Paterson's contributions. I believe the photographer was Grant Bisset (air to air), and Murray.

A few months ago I was lucky to spent 2 days flying in the Southern Alps with Australian Cinema Photographer Andrew Englisch. Andrew captured some stunning footage, both video and still.

Can we please get exact locations for each photo, when possible? The scenery is part of the attraction of these photos. And it provides inspiration for places to go to exploit the capabilities of these amazing aircraft.

[Nev]

Good idea Jim. Done.

[DBeaulieu]

That Bush Stream wide angle pic is fantastic!

[Nev]

Btw way I'm in for 10 calendars. They'll make great gifts to aviator friends, and hopefully a few pics showcasing the Outback scenery we all our Bearhawks to get to !

[Murray Paterson]

I would be in for 10 also. As Neville says they would make an excellent gift.
