Photo Comment

Mil Mi-8, serial HS-11, and NH Industries NH90, serial NH-208, of the Helikopteripataljoona (Helicopter battalion) based at Utti. Picture is taken above the Land of a Thousand Lakes near Utti in May 2010, from a Hughes 500 from the same unit. At that time only two Mi-8 were still flying with the Helikopteripataljoona, and the unit was heavily engaged in converting to the new NH90. Shooting air-to-air of helicopters from helicopters is always a challenge, as the slow shutter speeds required to produce a full rotor disc are somewhat incompatible with the usually very bumpy ride, so a compromise
