A Boeing Vertol 107 helicopter from the Swedish Marine, flying over the nature reserve Gålö in the Haninge archipelago. I have a thing for air planes and helicopters. If I hear something overhead I have to stop and take a photo. This helicopter has many uses. The Swedish Air Force have used it as a rescue helicopter since 1963. The Swedish Marine used it when they were trying to find those mysterious subs at the Hårsfjärden Bay in Haninge back in the 1980ths. This one comes from the Berga Naval Base.
Skywatch Friday.
This helicopter reminds me of a dragonfly. Spectacular shot of a magnificent flying machine!
ReplyDeleteThe photograph you posted for this SkyWatch is very nice. I like helicopters too.
