Black Hawk

9
COM
Last year, three days after purchasing my camera on credit I heard a whup, whup, whup noise outside my home. A very articulate UH-60 Black Hawk was hovering above our neighbors field.
I witnessed this army copter doing the limbo beneath blue skies, a little bit lower now.

When the Black Hawk lowered itself to the ground I was on my way to its landing site. Somewhere between my house and the landing site I became a one woman paparazzi without shoes armed with said camera. Frantically I looked for my target.

Two miles down the road I spotted thin layers of smoke rising from the asphalt. Broken tree limbs and leaves spattered the backroad. There between a small grove of trees I spotted Black Hawk and its occupants. Three or four recruits are searching an open field for... something.

1:44 pm. My drive by shoot is a success.
