Blackm Stallions Patrol

[falcon012]

A pair of MH-53 Sea Dragons of the US Navy's Helicopter Combat Support Squadron HC-4 on patrol somewhere in Iraq circa 2006. The squadron was deactivated in September of 2007.

I always liked the Sea Stallion and it's derivatives. It is an impressive sight to see such a large helicopter at high speed low to the ground.

beautiful image, but wouldn't there be dust blowing off the sandbar, since they are that low?

Espectacular/Very nice work, i like very much.

Thanks for looking and commenting guys. There might be dust coming off the sandbar but I figured the water spray was enough. I don't want to muddy up the scene too much.

Another stunning image Mark. You're right it always is impressive to see these big beasts flying so low and you've caught that impression perfectly.

Another very well deserved header. Well done!
