Hello, and as always I appreciate your visit to my site. With this post I thought I would go with something a little different than my recent military jet, aerobatic plane, or WWII warbird pics. This photo is the Bell AH-1 "Cobra" Vietnam era attack helicopter. I love the shot. I have been trying to do more vertical photos and this one was just perfect for that. The photo was taken at this year's Olympic Air Show. The "Cobra" and the show's "Huey" always put on a great performance. It is rare to see either of these helos flying alone let alone together. Just the sound of those big blades whopping through the air has it's own 'cool factor'. There were some rain squalls passing through and although it was a little wet, the sky and clouds created a terrific backdrop. Enjoy the photo and come back again.
Talley ho!
Steve
