Big Helo

Postby Willit Run » Thu Apr 20, 2006 5:00 am

A couple of these guys were flying over Cherry Hill yesterday evening.  Never had the camera when they went over.  Coming out of a store I saw this one and ran like a nutcase to the car and at least got this shot.

 Enjoy!! :)

Nice shot (MH-53 I believe?). You're bound to get a few shots from me like that... I'm currently stalking the skys with my new camera at the ready :D

Impressive helo!  :o Must make a lot of noise...

Hey Will, about the funny looks... try going spotting, arriving at a decent site, and find yourself amidst several other spotters with fancy Nikons and Canons, all equiped with HUGE lenses... made me feel small...  ;D

They didn't say anything and I was really pleased some other guys with bridge camera's turned up... ;D

Keep 'm comming... please...  ;)

I swear they wait until everyone goes indoors.....then blast over as fast as they can to see who they can catch out

I can just imagine them sitting there counting how many spotters they can see falling over old ladies and prams trying to get the camera in focus!  


i often think that!!

Good catch as always Willit, we get Superstallions and Pave Lows over here about once or twice a week, always rattle the windows ;D (a very good friend of mine is in charge of the MAG based out of Willow Grove NAS, I've had the privilege of an MH-53 ride last year)
