My 2013 highlight (Phantastic)

Post by SW Sky Blue » Thu Jan 02, 2014 10:54 pm

Well, the stand out trip for me in 2013 was as follows.......

Take off from Mildenhall :clap: .......head towards Germany........receivers airborne :clap: :clap: .........naff weather and viz in ARA Rosy , near white-out conditions :'( :'(

But hey, it's never gonna happen again..... :thumb: Sometimes the occasion has to be worth more than a card full of sunny pics..... :thumbs:

Like you say Kev, never going to happen again. Forget the lack of clear blue sky, sometimes it is all about the memory and make as much of it as you can which you have done. Great photos. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Happy New Year

Superb set of ph-otos!
I do recall a lady boom operator submitting some similar photos on here or was it Flickr? I wonder if it's the same girl or are there many lady boom operators?
