Pictured is a Eurocopter AS365 "Dauphin/Dolphin" helicopter. In the backround are the mountains of Oahu, in Hawaii. These two things have been such an enormous part of my life in the past and present, that I thought it would be fitting that I portray them here, immersed in a tropical sunset.
The Dauphin/Dolphin has been a major part of my life from the beginning, due to a relative using them in some form or another as part of their flying career. The portrayal of part of Oahu reflects the island of my birth, and where I was raised for part of my life. These two things will forever be treasured pieces of my upbringing, and in my opinion, have defined who I am.

Lived on Oahu (Kaneohe) for three years before getting transferred here to California...it does become a major part of your life

I chose the "Fast Mover" because of my obsession with high speed birds and the awesome ground support they provide for us ground pounders, I chose Hawaii for my scenery even though it is under the clouds because you wanted clouds, and because that is where I met my girl and got married, and I chose the Marine Corps paint job because...well...it's obvious, the Marine Corps is my life

Great shot, Big Truck

I did a shot with that AC a couple of days ago. Can't use for this contest because it doesn't mean Barb's criteria.

Will save it for when you win the next JC Contest, assuming you'll do a Marine theme 8-)
