19/11/13 - Bwlch Exit: Snow, Talon and a Hawk or Two

Post by Viper28 » Sat Nov 23, 2013 5:02 pm

Thought I'd made a big mistake when I reached the Exit only to get hit by a 40-minute blizzard that wiped out all viability, Eventually it cleared and the first thing I see is Rob coming over the hill :Bravo: Next thing a MC130, first I'd seen low level. His first pass was typical USAF high but his second was right on the deck

A cracking set. MC-130H and the 4 Sqn special are cracking especially with the snowy background.

Wow! Absolutely ridiculous set of images! I bet you had a job selecting your Photo of the Month entry. Superb effort all round!

Thanks for sharing.
