Would love it. Used to fly them (non-military). So, yes. I'd love to see whatever you got.

Cobras, chinooks, might have some slicks, blackhawks and kiowas. I'll have to go through my old pics.

Non-military I flew OH-6's, Bell 206's, Bell 47's, Hiller 12-E's, R-22's, and finally flew left seat once in a Meschersmitt twin boom. That's all.

LOL... Actually Rob, the OH-6 and the Bell are the fanciest things I flew unfortunately.

Oh, by the way, I remembered the Hughes 300. This was for spotting off tuna boats.

Liked the LOACH best. It's like flying a Ferrari! Just think you want to go left, and you're already there.

Miss those days.......

Yes it was a good aircraft. My favorite was the slick.

Might be a little longer than I thought submitting the pics. The wife has them in storage. I am scanning pics from the Tillamook Air Museum, USS Alabama, and Fort Knox Patton Armor Museum and will submit them shortly.

Unfortunately not, all were taken before I resumed modelling.

I have a desert storm blackhawk waiting to be built. I plan on building others choppers in the future so the pictures would be a great. The more resources we have here the better.
