That 47 rotor head sure looks a lot different than the OH-13's I went to school on in the late 60's. Lots of added counterweights up there.

I remember those old Bell 47G's from my childhood; in recent years I've even seen one flying around Phoenix on occasion (although I've not seen it in a while). They definitely have a distinctive engine noise that always sounded like there was a lot of loose change flying around inside the engine.

Great pictures!

Would it possible to have them as zip files once again?

Thank you very much for sharing these. Do you know if these were all flyable? I really like that little XROE-1 (I think that is what it is called).
