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.

AgustaWestland AW149 - air to air

Post by Borygo »

Last month the newest AgustaWestland helicopter was presented to Polish Army officials as it will be offered in transport/SAR/anti-submarine helicopter competition for Army, Navy, and Air Force. I got chance to take some air to air photos with this interesting machine:

Good job!
Do you use one of those gyroscopic stabilization devices?

Thanks guys.
No, I cannot afford to have one of these. Maybe some day...

Look more like buoys of some sort to me. Too neatly arranged in rows.
