I entered three photos in the Army Aviation Association of America photo contest. Last time I entered, all of the photos were of aircraft over Afghanistan and Iraq. It's hard to compete with combat photos. So this time I decided I would enter three photos (the maximum allowed) with no photos of aircraft in the air. In fact all three are very much on the ground and only one has aircraft.
The first one was a photo of grounded aircraft in heavy fog in January of 2014. All the photos have to be in calendar year 2014. The second is of mechanics from 628th Aviation Support Battalion pulling a broken truck out of three feet of water. The third is from Dunker training.
Veteran of four wars, four enlistments, four branches: Air Force, Army, Army Reserve, Army National Guard. I am both an AF (Air Force) veteran and as Veteran AF (As Fuck)
