If only I had the right camera so this wouldn't have been blurry!

Very nice work. All you need for night shots like that to prevent blur is a stable subject, tripod or placement on a non-vibrating surface coupled with timer on your camera. No human can hold a camera perfectly still on a long exposure needed to allow enough light into your camera.
Noted! Thanks for the tip
Digitals typically can handle lower light situations by increasing ISO without changing film like you had to do with "wet" film (=ASA) so you can get more out of available light, but a decent digital with proper light meter should automatically do that for you. It's still can't spin straw into gold though. Just like NVDs, you have to have some ambient light to get results.

Deja Vu... My first deployment was with HMM-264 on board the Iwo Jima... 8 months of pure pain.

I've always wanted to take a good night photo without flash but haven't been able to. I'll try with a tripod but I think in order to do a really good job I'd need an SLR.
Here are some H-3's to add to the mix. The first one is a form in some bad weather, not fun. Last two are of the bone yard.
Where is this at?
^ My first guess would be AMARC.

Is that what it's known as these days .... AMARC ??? I think the technical name of the "group" is "AMARG" ... i.e., "group".
I/we have always just called it ... Davis-Monthan.
