This is a great angle...I've never seen it quite this way before. Then I guess none of us saw these before 1991...wasn't that when they had their coming out party?

@bmac62. Bill they were first used in Panama in 1989, but not to a great extend.

If it is so jaw-dropping on the ground, I can only imagine what I looks like when it flies overhead. Stellar shot. I love the pov that brings out all the jutting, smooth-edged angles.
