Fantastic collextion of shots, it seems you had a busy day!

Love your shots. The Continental shot is especially nice!

Stellar photography. However, I do have one quick question, what is the red liquid the An-2 seems to be dropping from its hold?

I haven’t been watching movies per say but I have been watching the first three seasons of 24 and I have the fourth and fifth installments waiting to go. Probably one of the best shows to recently be released on television. As much as there is a lot of innacuracies and of course the fact that most situation could not be resolved in twenty-four hours, it still is a brilliantly made show with a great cast. It cost me a little fortune to pick up the first five season sets but it was well worth it and I would recommend it to all.

This is a movie I haven’t seen in a few years but had enjoyed the first time I had seen it. Decent plot about to Eastern European thug who come to America to collect the money that was due to them from a robbery only to find out that their partner had already spent it. From then on, they go on a killing rampage through NY with Robert deNiro and Ed Burns hot on their heels.

The Dakar is well known to be an extremely difficult race and the competitors are fully aware of the dangers which are present throughout the course of the competition. It is unfortunate that riders are he ones most likely to be harmed and sometimes, as seen with the unfortunate death of this competitor, the accident can be a deadly one. However, for many if not all of them, they are fully aware of the risks which are involved in taking part in this incredible adventure. If they were worried about dying, I am sure they wouldn’t sign up to participate in what is known to be the toughest automotive event on the planet.

I have been a big fan of the Dakar ever since it’s inception. I remember the run the Porsche 959 hd two years running. The success encountered by the Peugeot 205 and 405 along with the Citroens. And of course, who can forget the absolute domination displayed by the Mitsubishis in recent times. Its a great event and sometimes, I which I had enough courage to sig up myself to understand the myth this race has become.

French special forces are comprised of:

-Commandos Marine (3 commandos each specialised in something)
– 11th RCP (paratroopers)
– 2e REP (foreign paratroopers regiment)

GIGN is a special unit more similar to the german GSG9. Specialised in counter terror and stuff like that. Not a real military unit like SAS, although they do intervene in foreign ops too.

Don’t forget about the 13ieme Regiment des Dragons Royales. SF unit specializing in behind enemy lines operations such as recon, demolition and other operations in such environments.
