Here are a few photos I took during 2008.
Never posted any after the stories I wrote were printed so thought I would share these.
Must say 250 feet at 250 knots in a Hercules through some winding mountains was quite exciting.
Took a video camera as well so should post some footage some time.

Amazing photos Gavin, that's a very neat formation there from the Checkers, then again I guess we should expect that from them given their reputation.
