Jan-June Rundown!

Post by lloydh » Wed Jun 29, 2016 6:15 pm

Still not able to post any SKASaC images from November so I haven't really kept up with posting images at each opportunity but thought I'd post some of my favourites from a few jobs this year and a couple of days out, hopefully of some interest :-)

1. Hoping I'm not chastised for posting a couple of HEMS and SAR pics, I'll keep them to a minimum just in case though :ninja:

2. Pretty poor day on the Plain but resulted in a first.

3. Only trip to the Loop this year so far, lost the bug I think.

8. Headed over to LN in March to get the ball rolling with the 56th RQS for a future piece that will be featured in Vertical, absolutely amazing bunch of people.

14. Then the massive drive up to Lossie for JW 16-1, I was feeling particularly ropey for the entire ex. I will never turn down flying, so for me to have to decline three flights with the 56th RQS meant it wasn't just man flu! Typically I could only go up for the first week and it seems some of the best missions the crews flew were in the second week.

Superb selection.

I really like ZH877 - how do you get shots that sharp?

But the atmospheric shots of the HH-60 at Lakenheath are my favourites, that's if you can pic favourites.
