Here are a couple of photos taken recently.
The first one was taken during exercise Blackbird where I spent the day flying around with the boys.

Was dropped off on a mountain peek at 6500ft, very exciting indeed.
The all yellow Tiger is being flown by Al Marshall and the other Tiger is ZK-BMY, a masterpiece restored by Stuart Tantrum.
His son Wayne is in the front seat so a great combo there.
It has only recently flown and will post some of the first air 2 airs soon.

The Huey photo was taken from another, was a lot of fun tail chasing in the mountains but hard to get a photo at times due tow trying to use dreadfully low shutter speeds.
Am writing an indepth story at the moment on 3 Sqn so will post more photos from the day once I have chosen the ones to illustrate the story.
