Wow . . . nice shot. Sometimes it is hard to find and or pickup those gems such as this, in the heat of the moment. It reminds me of when we used to get 'buck' fever. Glad you were able to 'snatch' this out of the sky.

I have this same shot, taken at dusk, not near mountains (same angle, same chopper - different serial number).
