Hinds - evening flights in the mountains

Post by Draken »

Hi,
here are my shots form short visit at Nowy Targ airfield. Polish Hinds pay visit at this lovely situated place few times a year to practice mountain flying. This time no night flights, but setting sun made the job ;)
There were 6 Hinds and 4 Hoplites performing some training flights.

Great set of photos, similar in vein to the Salisbury Plain ones from the UK.
Great slow shutter speed work.

Excellent photos. Once again proves my trials that to get a full disc on the Hind/Hip you need 1/20 or less :smile: Awesome!
