Cool

Aussie bushranger UH-1H gunships, still going, although, I wont say "going strong", it is a dieing art. Twin 7.62 miniguns (400RPM each, with 5600 rounds for each), 14 2.75 inch rockets and two twin M60 door guns with about 2000 rounds each (I think). Poor old girl struggled to get of the ground, but my my, I challenge anyone to have more fun than a heavy fire team knocking crap out of a hill with WP rockets at sunset.
la la la, as I go wandering off dreaming of the fun. Hats off to the guys who flew hueys of all kinds in SE Asia. what a legacy you left. <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
