[Leica] IMG: Blackhawk Landing

[Jim Nichols]

I was preparing to capture some skydivers landing, when this Blackhawk 
landed and let off a couple of passengers.  Viewed large, you can see 
the enormous amount of exhaust heat that results from the hovering 
thrust setting.  Look at the area beneath the tailcone.

I did photograph a skydiver, after she landed and crawled on the 
trailer, still smiling because she said it was the best landing she ever 
made.
