Leon ....excellent collection of Photos ....all very sharp and defined.
No 3 Photo .....C130 Hercules Transport.....you caught the ' corkscrew ' of the Prop Blades very nicely there ... the ' twirl ' generated as the air is ' scooped ' up by the rotating props.... A very good example of aerodynamics here.
This might sound a little ' trivial ' ...but propellers are in fact ' rotary wings '.....the laws of aerodynamics apply when spinning.
Great photos..your right where the action is
