Good pix dude, the tail rotor looks cool in that pic.

I was laughing the other day about how I decided to be a crewchief on an attack helo (Cobras) and then got to walk a whole bunch, sleep in a hole, the hood of my hummer or my hammock if I was lucky. The transport chief's always had a dry place to sleep/eat/whatever and got to fly all the time.

Live and learn.

I did get to run comms in the Division C&C bird for a while, that was a sham job..... "Sir, don't touch the radios"

yessir! haha, we poke fun at the apache crew chiefs a lot, I always ask them where they sit when they fly. lol

ya that tail rotor has a creepy sweep thing going, on, I didnt notice that at first, good catch, guess you can tell its spinnig.
