Low level - 3 go mad in Wales

Well, you've seen Mic's pics (not all of them mind, he has a composite of Craig smiling and wearing a hat  ;D ) so here's my take on the day....















Great day  8-)

Great shots. The Herc and the Hawk nose, great detail. Nice that you get the odd wave from a jockey or two.

Matt

[Craig.]

well done. We appear to have all gotten the exact same shots.
And It's a lie. Craig wears neither a hat or a smile.

[Hagar]

Very nice. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Not surprising really considering you were all in the same spot. :P

I see a smile in this shot if I'm not mistaken. ;) --> http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/micfuninthehills1.jpg

Thanks Doug....

Craig was indeed smiling there....it had been very quiet since we arrived, and I had just suggested that we push Mic down the hill and get shots of the rescue chopper  :P

( Only kidding Mic  ;) )

At the same time....the rescue shopper thing isn't that bad an idea  :o

I like the second shot (full res crop of the last shot)..........shows the value of having the ability to crop from the original image and still show very good detail.........crisp images.........good work guys !

I have a feeling if I ended up at the bottom of the hill you'd just get a road ambulance....and maybe some police cars

Great shots.....that last hawk is lovely and sharp  8-) 8-)

cmon craig...your turn....

[Willit Run]

Sweet shots!!  8-)

I love the Herc shot!!

Great work!!

[Jayhawk Jake]

Nice pics from all of you!

One question though...in the second to last pic of the hawk, there's some sort of solid divider between the front cockpit and rear cockpit...is it for IFR training?

Where exactly in wales is this?
I want your picture spots!!!

theres a glass panel that seperates the two sections of the cockpit, i think that photo is just where the light has caught the glass panel

It's at the high point of the road between Cross Foxes and Tal-y-llyn, heading from Bala to Machynlleth. Park up in the large car park and walk up  ;)

Aye, effectively just a blast screen should a bird decide to perforate the front canopy.

Blimey this is an old thread....makes me want to go back though  >:(
