Falcon053 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hello all, well since I've hit the half way point of my deployment here, I figured I'd get some new stuff out. I started with some morning shots, I'm working on my "Artistic side" of picture taking...still a work in progress. This was a very big surprise when these guys showed up. I think I know what they are, but can a copter guy help me out?? And every once in awhile I see some other countries cool planes. To quote a famous movie, " It has curtins and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol" More to come... Duane Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, S Uumm, ok, so I didn't know what they were, thanks for clearing that up for me. It was really cool though to see them, really a great looking bird. Wow! Great photos Duane!!The afternoon sun with the mountain backdrops is just awesome. And . . . I love the Dragon and Bulldog. They ought to be coming back about the same time you do. Thanks again for sharing these Front Line photos! Take good care - ATB - Rip - Thanks a bunch Wally, that means a bunch. I've been trying different things with morning shots since I'm mostly on the flightline from sun-up to about mid-day. Most of the best light is latter in the afternoon when I get off, so I sometimes find reasons to stick around for a while longer. Yep, I should be out of here right around the same time these Warthogs leave and a new unit comes in, haven't heard who that might be. those look soooooo clean man!!!! i bet if i model one that clean i'd be lectured on how they are not sparkly clean in real life.all kidding aside, GREAT pictures!!!! do you take requests? how about some Hinds??!!! please!!!:D Shark Oh, believe me, these guys ain't clean anymore. That picture was taken a few weeks after they arrived, right now pritty much all of them are carring around a good chunck of Afghanistan in durt and grime. I'll post a few pictures of some when they first got here and when they are done to show the difference. As for requests, I can try. Sorry, I haven't seen any Hinds, but here is some other Russian made stuff... Some Mi-8s... And some cagro haulers... Well, off to fight the bad guys, thanks everbody. More to come!
