More from Vancouver Island and spring work-ups....

Postby Rifleman » Thu May 07, 2009 10:26 pm

I never forgot you guys.........

I've had some issues with my machine and Photoshop in the past few weeks, so I didn't get to display some of the images shot by my friend Rob, who is a Flight Engineer on the Buffalo, here at CFB Comox......

A few more for your perusal.......

Climbing up over the top inverted part of a formation loop......

Canopy to canopy one up/one down, slow roll done by the two opposing solo's......

Aligned for the three abreast landings ..........

Almost down..........
     Image


And finally, it's all over.........down on the ground again !

These are really excellent Ken. Almost as good as being there. I'm a little surprised that your friend was allowed to take the camera during an aerobatic sortie.
