The Bristow 212s in Trinidad are closing on 40,000 hrs and they're still going.

Some of the Bristow Nigeria 212's had about 37,000 hours in 2001....wonder how they are doing today, those that are left anyway? Some were beginning to really show their age...some had as many ADD's in their tech log as some Street Gang members have entries on their Rap sheets.

These not only look "mean"...they are Mean!

Four ACH-47A's were produced....named "Easy Money, Stump Jumper, Birth Control, and Cost of Living". Easy Money is the sole survivor...the other three were lost in combat operations in Vietnam.

Armament consisted of five .50 Caliber Browning M-2's MG's, two 20mm cannon, 2.75 inch Rockets, and a 40mm Grenade Launcher.

Thanks to the guys @ Microlite for a terrific flight

Hope you enjoy these as much as i did taking them. Just got a new camera and it is proving harder to get my teeth into. It is a Fuji 9500 Digital SLR. These pictures were taken at 9 Megapixel, but resized for this thread.
