Will you be the hero or heroine everyone needs?

Did you know that ...
The distress call "Mayday" comes from the French phrase "m'aider" — short for "venez m'aider", which means "come help me" or simply "help me."

History:
In the 1920s, when aviation and radio communication were becoming international, a standard distress call was needed that could be easily understood by English and French speakers (the two most widely used aviation languages at the time).
Frederick Stanley Mockford, a radio officer at Croydon Airport (England), coined "Mayday" around 1923 for this exact reason: it sounded like the French "m'aider" but was easy for English-speaking pilots and crews to say and recognize.

Official Adoption:
It was officially adopted as the international radiotelephony distress call in 1927, and it remains so today.

Let's play a fun game where you can help others in imaginary emergencies!
And celebrate a hopefully beautiful May day :))
