    You seem to have caught it up in the air, right over you! It looks like a police or military helicopter.

    Whenever I see an image of a helicopter I think of the opening scene of the movie Apocalypse Now.

    This is a Navy helicopter used during the TAN to carry around some lucky photographers, like the one actually shooting from the open door.
