 * Weak, Weak support It's noisy, and the picture's cut off, detracting from it's enc. in CH-47 Chinook. Also, it's use in Virginia Capes is pretty weak. Otherwise, for the picture's use in Rigid-hulled inflatable boat, I think it's pretty decent, so it's a weak support in that regard.  Spencer T♦C 00:20, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * A propos of nothing, I wish I could find an upload-quality version of the Chinook stunt pictured here: Spikebrennan (talk) 14:16, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Composition, cut-off subject, raft is in the shadows, hard to see what's going on. --Dschwen 14:35, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. Very cool! Clegs (talk) 14:41, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose – parts of rotor blades and the tail top are cut off – Ilse@ 20:53, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak support - Dramatic, striking, good focus on the body of the helicopter - but Ilse and Dschwen bring up good points. Cirt (talk) 19:02, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
