Eagles!!

This morning, we announced the next in Bob’s Summer Concert Series: You could win tickets to see the EAGLES! These guys are legendary:
• They have five Number 1 singles and six Number 1 albums
• The most successful recording artists of the 70’s
• Were given the title of having the “Best Selling Album of the Century” (for Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975))
• They are the best selling American group ever
• They have the best selling album in the states to date

All week (starting Monday) you have a chance to instantly win Eagles tickets, no qualifying, each day we will give away a pair of tickets and a seat on Bob’s Party Bus to get you to the show! To win these tickets listen for the Eagles songs between 6am & 6pm. When you hear one, write down the song title (or if you have a memory like Chris Holski and Rain Man you’ll just be able to remember them), then as soon as the fourth song starts, call our studios, if you can name all four Eagles songs you’ll instantly win!!!! Good luck!!


Also this morning, we were talking about this cool helicopter blimp crane thingy. I just had to post pictures of it, because…well it’s cool!

Basically the way it works is like a blimp with helicopter and crane capabilities. Technically speaking “The helium-filled envelope would support the weight of the aircraft itself (fuel included). Four rotors sticking out from the sides of the envelope would provide the lift for the external payload”.

It’s called the Skyhook JHL-40 and the companies say, should be able to lift a 40-ton sling load and then transport it 200 miles without refuelling. They say it is perfect for getting into harsh, undeveloped regions like the Canadian Arctic. The patent belongs to an Alberta based company Skyhook (hence the name the Skyhook), and prototypes will be built at a Boeing facility in Pennsylvania – pending approval from the Federal Aviation Administration and Transport Canada.
