Well these guys are the absolute best helicopter display team in the world. This year they had a couple of new tricks to show off. Including a cool game of chase between the Lynx and two gazelles after they stole the lynx's limelight. Really showed off the manuverability of both aircraft and the speed of the Lynx. And to close the display the Lynx went into a quick climb hovered above the display line while the gazelles climbe above it then circled down around it in a corkscrew type move after the last was below it the Lynx does a snap backflip and rolls out away from the crowd to chase the rest away from the display.
If they are on the plan for a display your at make sure to make time for them.

Hey they are wonderful shots of REAL FLYING MACHINES ;)

Thanks for posting them CraigL.

There are times I wish I had obtained my Helicopter Licence when I had the free chance to do it, but turned the opportunity down twice.
Instead I opted to fly the "Canso and Dak (DC3, C47) amongst other things instead. :)

Oh well, foresight is a wonderful gift.

Cheers....Happy Landings....Doug
