I love flying in them! Definitely preferred using them over a convoy when FOB hopping. xD

Very effective shot... though I am not quite sure of how the camera is slightly angled. I would have preferred it to be dead straight. But apart from that, well done!

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll fix it as soon as I can get access to my archive. That area is so dang hilly. Dx

Very nice. I like how empty the picture is. The emptiness adds a ton of emotion. Well done!

from a professional standpoint, I can appreciate that the photo is well exposed. the horizon line though could a little straighter.
