I don't do much photography these days -
But in a sudden burst of keenness I blagged a seat on a NH-90
Not the perfect Photoship by any means! but had a pretty good day - bit tiring flying for about 4 hours all up - but reasonably happy with the results.
Blackbird is a mountain flying exercise in the top of the South Island
It's 14 years since I last did one in a Huey!
Hope it is something different

Very cool thread!
The RNZAF seem to be one of the few NH-90 customers who haven’t complained about them yet!
Gorgeous scenery, too.

You should get your camera out more often, if you ask me!
Great set. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Gents,
Yes the RNZAF seem to like them. They say they have availability of about 65% against all other users in 30s! Not sure how! The Aussie's complain it costs about 15,000 quid an hour to operate – a Blackhawk is about 2K !
I’ve just uploaded some updated versions of the pics (after figuring how!)– I realised my processing what pretty grim – partly the post trip excitement to see what they looked like. so I ahd another go - better but maybe far from perfect
It really is not my skill is post processing – does anyone have a Numpties guide.
Or any comments?
I was more happy when you waited for your slides to come in the post from Kodachrome! Happy days
