On today's visit to the local airport, I spotted a colorful visitor, a Lake 
LA-4 Amphibian that is based on a nearby lake.

Then I was told that an Army training flight of six helicopters was being 
refueled during a lunch break for the flyers.  I decided to see what they 
looked like.

This is the type of chopper in use.  I will not attempt to ID the type.

Fueling of the sixth chopper was underway.

Finally the job was done, and the equipment was being stored away on the 
fuel truck.

All shot with the E-1 and its original companion, the ZD 14-54 lens.

Comments and critiques welcomed.
