Anakonda EX - heli heaven - MORE ADDED

Post by Bartek »

Hi guys,
last year I got chance to be part of Anakonda Excersice - basically a helicopter part of this event. I spent 6 days in Miroslawiec Air Base flying 2-3 sorties per day and one by night with SOF. Please find my photo report.

Almost ludicrously good, as someone else has said #4 is probably the best Apache shot I have ever seen. Brilliant stuff. :clap:

I've always thought that anyone can shoot air-to-air, but only a tiny number can do it well. These photographs ooze charisma and personality of the sort you see in a Tokunaga or Dibbs shoot. Magnificent.

I can think of several UK operators who should give you a call rather than their tired, formulaic go-to regulars.

Agree Skyflash that is unbelievable as an Apache shot.

This has to be a contender for best set of photos on the forum this year.

I'm in awe of your skills sir, and ever so slightly jealous of them... and the subject/situation!

WOW - thank you so much guys for all nice comments :) I must say that six days on Anakonda could be compared only to Afghanistan adventure. Many different sorties with very friendly crews who were very supportive.
Once again thank you. You made my day :)
