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.
Re: Pix From a Swamper - Remembering Craig Chenell
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?

ENBT, I thought that you worked up in YTH?! What are you doing in Bunga?
Say, what's that mountain goat doing up here in the mist?

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

Sunrise at Msembe airstrip in Ruaha National Park, TZ.
Lots of people to greet me in Mchukwe, TZ.
Going the other way.

Re: Pix From a Swamper - Remembering Craig Chenell
These aren't aviation pics, but would never have been taken had I not gotten this aviation job.
A little rain will bring out a lot of these little devils. Caught these two "getting it on" right on the road while I was driving from lodge to work last week. My favourite picture thus far... he had a dead impala under the tree, so he showed us his teeth and let us know we were a little too close. Also taken on way to airstrip from lodge in Ruaha National Park.
