Took a shot at the Philippines airforce's old UH-1 helicopter. I was trying to upload this and tried to enhance it with photoshop. I played around with the "levels". Then I noticed that at this setting, the photo brings back images of photos of the vietnam war from magazines and books that I use to see from history books. The Huey was an integral part of the cavalry back then of the US armed forces. One magazine shows almost exactly the same image as shown here, with the pilot somewhat visible. In one of the raids at the outskirts of Ho Chi Min.
I can almost hear the song "Paint it Black" in my mind.
