Two Choppers in one day

First I had the Chance to photograph these two Choppers the Chinook came over and I missed because I had the wrong setting on the camera but then it came back and the second one was inspecting the Power lines. Thought you all might like a look.

Yeah this is typical right up till the sun goes down then all the cloud rolls back in I am getting all excited all day thinking I might get the scope out and then I am disappointed. Oh I get what you mean by typical Townsville sky I should have known you didn't mean the BLUE SKY I almost forgot about your Defence force base up there.

I love the vapour trail off the Chinook's rotar I thought that was cool

It happens quite regular up here at least every six months usually it is this small chopper and a Guy or Girl hangs out and sprays this cleaning solution on the poles to clean all the salt residue off.
