Standing on the ramp of a Hercules taking photos

Scary stuff for an old timer like me standing on the ramp taking pics of PTSU members jumping out the back of a Hercules! Awesome view though and confidence builds quick once one gets familiar with surroundings.



Watch this space for more photos.

Excellent Colin! I'm looking forward to seeing more photos. How'd you get that gig?

It certainly is good fun!

Thanks for the comments guys.

Partly due to this web site being a place to post all sorts of photos encouraged me to try some shots from the ground of Kiwi Blue jumping at air shows. The quality was good and Kevin from PTSU emailed me for some copies. He asked if I would like to come along on one of the sorties and I accepted.

Many thanks to the crew and members of the PTSU for this opportunity and to the RNZAF for allowing my involvement.

Some more pics.

Those photos are superb! What excellent action shots. Well done Colin.

It's great to hear that the forum had a hand in setting this up. Well done to both Colin and Kevin for producing this opportunity for us to see the team in action from an angle we normally wouldn't see.

The face will be familiar to some here?

Fantastic shots, Colin.

Is that a look of apprehension on the face of the first candidate to jump?
