Hello!
Here's Pieter again. Here's another photo from the Leeuwarden airshow. This beauty was doing a low speed pass at 5 meters above the ground over the whole landingstrip. I had to put my lens back to 50mm to take a picture of the hole plane.

CH47 Chinook 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Hello, here's a cool picture from a CH47 Chinook. I used my wide angle lens to accentuate how huge the blades of this helicopter are.
These provide the helicopter with a really typical sound.

Oke enough from the static. Tomorrow a photo from the flying display.

Pieter
