Exercise ELITE 2008

Morning all,

I was fortunate enough to spend last week in Germany for Exercise ELITE 2008, and I thought some of you might be interested in seeing some of the shots I captured.

There'll be a full report on the exercise appearing in the not-too-distant-future.

Hard to believe those machines are pretty old. Well maintained does it every time!

Wow. Those photos are amazing.

That's like 10 months of the Rotorheads calendar, all in one go. Can you use some of them for future editions, John E?

Hey Nice Pixs,

in the time of the Elite execise I was performing some comercial "ass and trash" missions around the areas and I have to say it was a Pain in the Ass. If you have to make on time deliveries it really sucked to have to fly a min. 5-10 min detour. Well I guess for the sake of peace we have to live with it!
