The photo above was taken by Rhys who is a Huey pilot and is also good with a camera. He is in the sixth aircraft. The 500D is a bit further out than normal as we kept things very safe but to fit all six in we couldn't get too close anyway. Could have flown in one Huey but that would mean we would have missed out an aircraft and crew and I really wanted to avoid that. Will be posting some more shots of the six soon just waiting to see which ones are required for a couple of magazines. Sure was a highlight of my flying to date, and thanks again (and again) to all of those in the RNZAF and NZDF who helped make this possible. Have had some great responses from NZDF which is pleasing. Four "Dragging" so we could get a few shots of a pair.

Great shots as always Gavin. Does anyone know what sort of hours these airframes have flown now?

Rhys Postlewaight sent me this photo last night and its a cracker. Great to see and thank you very much Rhys. The 500D looks tiny compared to the Huey. I went to school with Rhys, last saw him at an OH open day a few years ago doing the 'ask me questions' gig in front of an unservicable Huey. Still going by the name of 'Chip' (IIRC)? Have to say I am a bit envious since his RNZAF ambitions turned out a lot more successful than mine

If he has more photos like the one above, Rhys is most welcome here on the forum.

Still sorting through photos from last week, it was quite noisy about now.

Following several requests I have just added a folder of photos to my website covering the six ship Huey flight. Also added some photo's from Exercise Blackbird as well.
