Chopper Pix from Afghanistan

A separate section for photographers to upload and comment on everything from amateur plane spotting images to professional air to air shots.

These bunch of shots were sent to me from a serving member in Afghanistan. While they are not brilliant they may be of interest to some of you chopper fans, (of which I am not one.)

If anyone has a nice detailed screenie of a FlightSim Copter similar to the last one shown, and can post same here, I'd like to email to Afghanistan. I have
discussed FlightSims with my contact over there and would like to show him the level of sophistication that is available through some of the brilliant repaints done by members..... biggrin.gif

Razor wire, rock...and roll.
It's a long way from Tipperary!



Not quite the same thing, this one near Kabul.
FSX should render that landscape a lot better than FS9 though.
