                        Went to an airshow last weekend and did two good walkarounds on the newest versions of the Huey and a Cobra:

                        Thank you very much for the great detailed walk arounds you did. Any idea what those boxed slots are for behind the copilot and pilot doors are for?

                        Again thanks.

                        Did you really have to post those pictures?
                        With all the models I have in my stash I didn't need someone poking me into wanting to do these two birds!

                        Just kidding! Thanks for sharing those great pictures.

                         Housings for flare/chaff dispensors (like you see on the tailbooms).
