500 C question.
was wondering what the triangular frames that appear to be coming out of the rear doors with the red blob on the end.

I guess we can discount that it is for mounting the outrigger wheels when they are first learning to fly ........

Those are army helos, could the frames on the sides be for hanging stuff on, like guns maybe? Just a guess. They don't look strong enough for anything more powerful.
Does anyone know how much cash one would have to dish out to buy one of those birds?

I have heard that the price will be between $100K to $300K.
They can be inspected at Karup airport.
PM me for contact info if anyone is interested.
I´m guessing the thingies in the backdoor are used for SWAT team insertion!
I have just received info that the frames in the backdoor of the H-500 is used for "fast rope rappeling"

I would say its one of the US law enforcement agencies who have got their hands on a surplus OH58.
