An update and terrible reminder that freedom is not free and the runway environment is a very dangerous place. RIP Marine.

+1 - Very, very cool. You really nailed it with this image Scott. Glorious background and the helo appears to be tack sharp nose to tail. The lighting isn't bad either

Thanks Jeff! I had wanted to take a shot like that ever since I was a teenager.  Just switch out the HH-1N with an OV-10A from VMO-2 or VAL-4 and that would have been my dream shot. In reality the brightly colored Huey probably looks better over the sand.
