Taken on my recent flight with HMLA-367 in Helmand Province Afghanistan.
Special thank you to Capt Jones, Capt Rose, and LtCol Alvarez for making this shot happen.

The cobra just finished dispensing it's flares, the shape of the smoke is caused by the rotor wash of the aircraft's rotor blades. Hence the title. Thanks for the comments.
Wow...Lucky fish to be in air with this happening. Well captured. A slower shutter would have helped in giving the blade more movement but yes, Tricky to get that as well as a sharp pic.
I scored this a bit higher because of the element of difficulty to capture something like this. I am wondering what it would look like though if it was black/white with the contrast pushed a bit. It make create a nice dramatic feel, or it make look like snot. Just wondering. Overall, nice capture.
