This photo was recently taken in Honduras by a spotter during the approach to runway of one of the new Maules adquired by the Air Force.
Note the little object on the upper left corner (blue square),and the enlarged image of it.What can it be? The shape is a little weird for a dragonfly,given the shape of the body and the "X" wings.

Looks like one of those "Kayman" helicopters with the contra-rotating rotors.
