Gary Watson Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Amazing photography. I just finished reading a book about a Brit Unit deployed out of Bastion to a FOB and there was mention of the halo when they were landing at the FOB. I can see now how vulnerable the helicopter is to ground fire with the bright corona discharge serving as an aiming point. The radios probably also crap out due to all the static discharge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicopterjim Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Smoke from a forest fire gives the same effect. In 1998 we were ground running at night when the smoke was so thick you could hardly see mote than 200 meters. When we pulled a bit of pitch the rotor system lit up very similar. Quite spectacular to see live! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
