Wow super job on those kits I really like the H19 - i was reading the book ChickenHawk recently and the author decribes learning to fly the H19 compared to the Huey.

Yes it is - i think ive read it like a million times i took it to basic training with me and i think my whole barracks ended up reading it Our airforce still operates the Huey and i was lucky enough to get a few rides in them while i was in the Army.

Cool that must be an interesting job for sure.It will be a shame when we replace our Hueys with the NH90 in the not distant future.
