    I'm no good at naming planes and helicopters, but is that a Huricane? Now do you pilot those?

    It's the MV-22 Osprey. I don't fly them (I wish! Someday, maybe), but they're an awesome airframe.
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not.

    Ah yes, the Osprey. That's the one that tilts the copter blades, right? The others must also be naval helicopters. I just can't place them. The middle one almost looks like a chinook but that's Army I think.

    Close enough to spring (especially with the great weather)

    Unfortunately the great stretch of weather is ending here. It was a really nice few days.

    100% correct! Watching Ospreys take off is really cool because they sometimes start out in plane mode and then transfer to helicopter mode as they leave the deck. The first is an MH-60S, used by the Navy, and the middle is indeed a Chinook. Some Army units get their landing qualifications on Navy ships (this was news to me).

    Cool. Thanks. Must be fun to ride in them.

    Nice pictures Snowqueen, but after the storms we've been getting the last two days and continue with today, I'd rather not think about clouds at the moment. I want some sunshine!

    Le Iris, beautiful pictures. I've always wanted to see Eastern Europe. I take it you are latvian?
