Flying with 40 sqn, 3 Sqn and the Checkers.

[Gavin Conroy]

Here are a few photos I took during 2008.
Never posted any after the stories I wrote were printed so thought I would share these.
Must say 250 feet at 250 knots in a Hercules through some winding mountains was quite exciting.
Took a video camera as well so should post some footage some time.

The crewas were great to work with and I have a lot of respect in regards to what they do.

That second shot of the Red Checkers, over the sea, is fantastic. It looks like ice!

And the photos from inside the Hercules take me back to my own apine flying mission in one in 1993, the scenery looks the same. A really neat flight that was, and yes we dropped 100 foot chutes over the plains too on the way home.

Great photos Gavin, that Hercules trip looks fun.

They are great photos, Gavin.

Gee, you must hate being a photographer sometimes! ;D
