Helicopter had me slightly worried

Here in Trinidad, I recently found out that having camouflage gear is illegal - something to do with impersonating the military. I found this out when I was stopped at customs and the guy pulled out my camo baseball cap and went to town on me. Now I'm pretty sure it's only clothing but I'm still a little paranoid about it after the encounter with the customs man.

I have a woodland camo lenscoat on my 400/5.6 and today I was out on my balcony shooting the offshore power boat race when a number of helicopters did close in fly-byes of the apartment block. This guy gave me a turn!

Fly past

nice, like that last one with the wave. that would worry me...

Awesome shots, if that door had opened and the guy was packing heat, I would have done a VERY good squid impersonation!!!

Good series!

Would Arctic Camo. be okay in Trinidad ??

At least you have nice helicpoter pictures to show and a story that goes with them

Nice pictures.

Thanks everyone. I think the run-up to the T&T independence day has everyone out and about. There were several copters doing fly-byes. Here are a couple more:

This guy came out of nowhere and surprised me.

Cool story and pics! I would seriously lose everything camo!

Glad I live here in the good ole' USA!

Wow, love the pilot just chilling in the last show of the first post! Looks like he's cruising on a motorway, not handling a £millions aircraft with spirited precision.
