PaceHawk in action

Day out at RAF Lakenheath including a session on the F15C flight sim.

My God! It's going to drop right out of the sky with its rotors stopped!

(sorry - couldn't help myself)

Helicopters are deceptively tricky to photograph -- ideally, you'd like to see at least *some* rotor blur while keeping everything else tack-sharp. This is a common problem with prop planes, too, though you typically see an effective prop blur on them well before you see rotor blur on a helicopter (see the tail rotor in your first shot).

Anyway, I like the second photo a bit more than the first -- the dangling soldiers add a bit more interest, IMO. Interesting processing, too -- it almost has a lithograph-like feel.

Yje processing is to enable printing on plain card when I add squadron crests and the like.

As ever a great day - one of the perks of being an Honorary Commander on the Base.
