Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Nice ones
But I prefer sand instead of grass
No pics of the two German Bo-105's?

First landing LZ Blue, bringing in the Taskforce for objective Hilton. Duke and Grizzly supported by Redskin...
Grizzly outbound after first dropoff. He did scare me a bit...
Duke also outbound, just over the base perimeter but not as close as Grizzly...
Doing "hide and seek", LZ Blue was just behind the bush seen from outside the base...
For the outbound we stood at the right place as the choppers were turning towards us...
Duke and Grizzly in one picture...
Final 2 piccies, just the choppers, the light was fading already...
We had a nice afternoon at DePeel...
