Excellent!
In my view, the fact that these pictures aren't posted on airliners.net only add to their quality.

Here we have the best thread on this forum, by far.

I feel like an interloper here, but I have to say this is the best thread on any forum by a long shot. It's not helping me study for my commercial exam, but the pictures are amazing and the comments very interesting. Cheers.

Those are some fantastic shots. Forgive me for asking but what exactly are you doing in Afghanistan STL? Clearly your on photo assignment but the military has their own photographers. Are you working for a magazine? If so where can I find more of your work?

There's an old DC-3 wreck at the Malcolm Island Airport in the middle of Reindeer Lake. Anyone know the history on it?

The thread about "loving the north" led me to post this salute to all the engineers, line pilots and rampies in the north.
