Eradicating a Clear and Present Danger

Ever read the book by Tom Clancy: "Clear and Present Danger"?. These series of shots depict the scene where a Sikorsky MH-53M Pavelow IV is refueled by a KC-130 tanker after extracting a team of soldiers on an anti-drug black op in Columbian territory. (The actual refuel was done over water during a storm but I preferred the jungles for my purposes).
These are the rejects to my contest entry:

Yes... I know that the Hercules has no props... its an outdated 2000 model and quite likely the only functioning KC version out there... and yes... the Pavelow's rotors are frozen... due to various factors, slew and a tweeked recording had to be used extensively...

Please leave comments and visit my contest entry here... and leave comments there too...  ;D

Clever idea.

But at least you could've flown the CH-53 yourself. ;)

I would have just that the drogue position isn't recorded in Recorder so the Pavelow had to be recorded first.

Ah, I see.
