Canadian Forces Combat Camera Best Photos of 2011

The Canadian Forces Combat Camera has chosen their top photos of 2011 and you can find them on their website:http://www.combatcamera.forces.gc.ca. I picked four really cool shots of our forces in action to post here, all photos from the DND. Take a look at all they stuff these guys and gals get involved in.  In the water, pictured at top: Deployed on Operation NANOOK 11, Leading Seaman Aaron Page and Marc Andre Ouimet dive on the wreckage of a C-54 Skymaster (a.k.a DC-4) that crashed in 1951.
