Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Washington, DC (April/May 2010) MIL

Hi all,
During my holiday in the USA I was treated with a lot of helo's in and around Washington DC. Unfortunately, not all were close enough for a decent photo.
Here are three results of a nice visit to DC:

While walking at The Mall, this one suddenly appeared (30/4):

Eventually, to land here (30/4):

This nice Huey was passing by the Jefferson Memorial at quite a low altitude. Luckily, the crew was kind enough to wave (20/5):

Very nice! Does the Huey belong to HMX-1 as well?
Cheers,

No, the HMX-1 is a USMC squadron. This helo is of the USAF (316 WG, 1HS).
