A few years back I acquired an old printout from the Oz Huey Gunship crews explaining the role of all the other Oz defence force aircraft. Please feel free to expand on it as I can only vaguely remember the gist of it. Maybe w-ocker or Bushranger will recall it.
But how wonderfully true...
C130 Herc: Long range Huey gunship transporter.
B707: Huey gunship overseas crew deployment vehicle.
Caribou: Short field transport to move adoring fans to the range area for Huey gunship displays.
CH-47: Huey gunship crew van transporter.
S-70: Huey gunship fuel and ammo resupply vehicle.
F-18: Aerial drone used to attract ground fire away from the real threat - the Huey gunship. Also used as a decoy for Huey air to air engagements.
F-111: Precision LZ maker for Huey gunship forward bases.
RF-111: High speed reconnaisance aircraft for Huey gunship strikes.
Nomad: P1ss transporter for Huey gunship deployments.
Kiowa: Target marker for Huey gunship strikes.
SeaHawk: Offshore target detector for Huey gunship strikes.
...or something like that. anyone care to add more?
.....and someone asked why the Huey was so good. The world revolves around them!!
