I brought my camera this time to one of our joint training exorcises. At one point, we had 7 AH-64's, 4 UH-60's, 3 Mi-35's (Hind), 1 Mi-17 (Hip), 2 CH-53's, 1 UH-1, and 1 UH-72 operating day and night out of a 1,500 x 750 ft FARP. Crawl, walk, run with the boots, but a constant improvement. Good job guys!

Mi-35's on day 1. Myself and the other pilots were distracted by some of their female crew chiefs, but I managed to grab this shot.

Phantom crew chiefs launching our birds. Not a single flight delayed during the entire month long exorcise due to maintenance. Think about that next time your airline flight gets delayed!

Moving with a purpose!

Wow! Those are some nice shots, especially with the autumn colors in the background.

Portable toilets, always a big feature. Inspiring photos. I can see they have the new heat baffles installed too.

Beautiful Pics Spike! I wish I could see a Apache in Reallife. Have seen Hinds on airshows, but no Apache yet...
