    They are huge beasties, I've seen them doing touch-and-go circuits at RAAF Richmond a few times.

    Addit: Have never seen one over Tarin Point and don't know where to find Tarin Kot.

    I wonder if Tarin is a common place name in Afghanistan? They also have another Tarin place name ... ...Tarin Kwot!

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
