war & peace

Leopard 24 flying under a double rainbow over the beautiful Philippine landscape.

 

On the other side of our aircraft in this photo was the monument erected in honor of the tens of thousands of Filipino and American prisoners that were forced to march the 100 miles across the northern island of Luzon from Bataan to their POW camp at Camp O’Donnell, on what has since come to be known as the Bataan Death March.

 

For this photo we were racing an incoming rain shower to LZ Fort Magsaysay to drop off some supplies for the guys down there training. I was trying to get some good photos of the memorial as we flew past, but it was already covered by rain, so I went back over to my side of the helo just in time to witness and capture this double rainbow.
