Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Post by VH3D »

Few choppers over DC last Wednesday afternoon. The US Park Police Bell 412EP is the newest addition to USPP (and replacement for another 412EP N22PP).

The USAF UH-1 is the most common helicopter above Washington DC. To 1 UH-60 or to 1 UH-72 you can see 5 UH-1s.

Hains Point on the "In Bound side" Usually Lot 11 (Says 11 on a Brown Square Sign on the light pole) is preferred.
Thanks!
