La Balbina - SEBB, Ecuador

Notes:

Elephant walk time! 15 Helicopters in one photo, showing the power of the Ecuadorian Army Aviation. After around 3 days of convincing the Colonels, and having to run what felt like a marathon, I was able to achieve this amazing photo. I was on top of the control tower taking photos of the approaching aircraft, over the radio the Colonel started yelling for a photographer to go up in one of the Mi-171's to take this picture I had been talking all week about. I instantly had to run down the Tower and go to a nearby field to enter the helicopter. Worth it! :)
