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.

Stop the Enemy and Arrest Them

Post by Redskin301 »

A few days ago I joined the exercise at the GLV5 area. The goal was to stop an enemy vehicle and arrest the drivers!
An Apache was used to force the vehicle to stop by showing military force.

Image

the Apache was hovering between the trees at a sheltered position. I had this picture in my mind for a long time and
now I had the opportunity to capture it like this. The Apache was waiting for the ground forces who arrived by Chinook.

Image

Image

The Chinook arrived a few second after the Apache. It made a rolling landing in the loose sand.

Image

Soldiers of the 11th Air Mobile Brigade left the helicopter and took control over the situation

Image

The Apache stayed in the area to protect the soldiers against enemy activity

Image

The enemy was arrested. This person was a very wanted person for the coalition forces; a great catch
because an enemy key person was arrested

Image

The soldiers left the area again by Chinook, they took the prisoner with them. The Chinook gave me a spectacular
fly by at the end of the exercise. It is one of my most spectacular Chinook shots ever.
