The reality is that soldiers get wounded. This photo shows that. It also shows soldiers flying to his aid and another soldier protecting his buddy in the meantime.

I can understand your first thoughts, but this is powerful stuff most of us rarely see. Not poor taste at all.

Soldiers taking care of soldiers.

Pretty gutsy, but bamboo is one of those great natural engineering materials - I'm not sure that I'd want to fly in it though. Speaking of helicopters, in the comments there was the following link to this picture from a SAR out west...somebody needs to buy this pilot a beer. https://news.washeriff.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dsc_0138.jpg I’m pretty sure that the guy who built the helicopter in 9 must’ve been watching MacGuyver reruns.

Even cooler that I was actually there to see #6 fly. Still haven't figured out the how and why, but I admired it on the ground and watched in awe as it flew. My only complaint ... I missed seeing any F-18s, with the exception of seeing one taking off in the distance. That's just wrong, I tell ya. Awesome pictures!

That said - it's all plane pr0n of some kind, which is never a bad thing. Speaking purely as a photographer, #40 floats my boat.

I was going to say that I thought it was in poor taste to show the image of a wounded soldier. Perhaps I'm in the minority here. I guess.
