F106A Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 A few pics from my two trips down there - so far. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F106A Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 A few Herks working Haiti. Day shots were taken in the Dominican Republic when we stopped there for gas. (Bad idea - it took 4 hours.) Night shot at Homestead where we take the evacuees. This first shot of USCG 1706 was taken in Haiti. I took all the photos. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F106A Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 A few more. Taken during final and landing on my first trip. Mark Not a Herk obviously - a Mexican Navy CASA C-295 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F106A Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Marine Herk parked next to us the other night in Haiti. We all headed to Homestead. That was a long night, but worth it. Mark (Sorry about the crappy photos everybody.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
