Nap-of-the-Earth

Nap-Of-the-Earth, is one of the most challenging flights that helicopters do to hug the terrain and fly to avoid detection. It needs a lot of skill to manoeuvre judiciously using all controls to mask yourself with terrain while flying. Here is a challenging painting for watercolours of the Prachand (Light Utility Helicopter of HAL) during a demonstration flight in deserts of western India.  Referenced from a photograph clicked by @SanjaySimha.  Watercolours on 300gsm Canson 18 x 12 inch, reference photograph by #sanjaysimha #prachandhelicopter #noe #watercolorartist #watercoloraircraft  #artistsoninstagram #aquarela #artbymranand  #artbymra #hindustanaeronauticslimited #indianairforce
