The wings produced 30% increased lift enabling an increased cruise speed to 97.6 kts...

I'm just wondering who the poor pilot was who had to dress up in the costume for the flying wide shots!
Couldn't they have come up with something edgier than a 47.
One of them new fangled Cayuse things perhaps?
On reflection, I guess there were one or two other tasks the OH-6 was involved in at the time.
Actually - the Cheyenne would have been more `Batman' and it already had wings.
A few years too late tho...
