Awsesome photos, thanks WT. I heard my friend Terry the Blackhawk pilot retired after his last mission, he's earned it. I recognize the location of that last photo, it's sheltered water but cold and very deep, I've seen a few subs in that area just submerged with the tower visible, I'm always impressed at how big they are and how fast they move. It would have been a kick to witness that exercise.
