That's an amazingly good photo Irene. Where were you when you shot it?

Oh ! thank you very much for the kind compliment. I was both feet on the ground
The Vamp was flying a display for the crowd line in a gentle banking motion (you can hear it whine characteristically at speed)

Found on an old memory stick today - this was from an air-to-air I was privileged to shoot with the SA Air Force from another helicopter (2014)

Great image @rayvonn. Love how it's framed, capturing the scene inside and sunset outside. Also the golden skin tones match nicely with the beautiful sky.

Many thanks Craig, it was the sunset that got me walking over to the other side of the plane to capture it, whereupon having seen me do this, others on my side followed me over and copied what I was doing with their phone cams. Whilst that resulted in a nice enough sunset images, I personally preferred the posted image better.

And I was thinking, "WOW, a whole row to sleep in".

And I was thinking, "WOW, a whole row to sleep in".

Everyone from the half way point of the cabin backwards had a row to themselves. Free beer too. I knew something was up when they started offering upgraded business class seats for 20 bucks (even though the seats are the same size and you can't lie across).
