Chinooks "Blizzard" and the "Sling King" in Action @GLV-V

Post by Redskin301 »

All,

Had a fantastic set last night with the 298 Sqn RNLAF at the GLV-V. Two Chinooks "Blizzard" and the "Sling King" came
by to make duo landings in the sand. unfortunately the Chinooks kept a bit distance due to a small communication problem.
However, the soft light from 2015LT to 2100LT was incredible. In the summer months this is the best time of the day. I have
gone pretty extreme with the shutter speeds, there are pictures taken with 1/60 sec. Nice to catch our green Chinooks
while it is still possible!
