Omaka Heli's

[connor]

Classic Fighter's was brilliant this year, although a little wet.
I took some (many) photos over the weekend, but it was very challenging getting the shots sharp when shooting at 1/200th of a second (and for most of the heli's 1/100th of a second) at the equivalent of 500mm.
Anyway, over the next couple of days I will share some of my photos with you all, but only a few at a time, to keep the bandwidth pressure down.

First I thought I would start with the whirlybirds.

These are n no particular order either.

First off, the Air force UH-1H dropping troops.



A Navy Seasprite.



The Lifeflight BK-117.



More UH-1H.



Seasprite on the ground.



The BK-117 crew playing around.



And last but not least, my personal favorite, the UH-1H, again!



Thanks for looking, and keep your eyes peeled, there is more where that came from!

Some nice creative framing - I've never been to Omaka but am totally familiar with those hills behind the #5 Seasprite!
Last one also - great Iroquois action.

Awesome pics Connor......your a man of many talents I love that #5 (seasprite)....seems to blend in.....like some kind of huge bug.

connor, is that first huey shot cropped? if you have wider view that includes the two guys just to the left of frame it would be awesome!

Unfortunately it isn't cropped, I just had the lens at full zoom.
