Re: M718 On display
That's a good looking resto candidate. I also like the M561 gama goat in the backround.

I figured that you would recognize another girl you were married to but only after loading the pics at home. I'll correct the situation and snap a few shots of her today.toptiger wrote:Francis, any chance you took a Pic of the chopper on the pole?

Re: M718 On display
A couple of years ago some timed out air frames (UH1) came up for sale in Military vehicles magazine. Glad to see that they fell into the hands of collectors and not the hard target range.

Re: M718 On display
Thanks Marion- that is a C model, used only for gunship duties, i believe. It has the rotor system that was later used on the cobra.

A local gentalman and Vietnam vet owns an operable huey.
Sometimes when he passes over, I believe he may still be in Vietnam. LOL

Re: M718 On display
Exactly. Best part is when driving down the street, your vehicle windows start shaking and the pressure starts making noticeable changes. Then you see him have to pull up to clear the bridge. I want a ride.WC Matt wrote:Why? Does he fly at tree top level w/o doors?David wrote:A local gentalman and Vietnam vet owns an operable huey.

Re: M718 On display
David, he will do that until the FAA pulls his license! Moose, the price is right but I wonder how many hours are on the airframe?
