Thanks for the link, Papa-Echo. Now I just need the kit!
A day in the Corps is like a day on the farm; every meal is a banquet, every paycheck a fortune, every formation a parade... The Marine Corps is a department of the Navy? Yeah...The Men's Department.

My local Hobby Shop owner just got back from a big Toy and Model show....When and If I see him this weekend I will ask if he had seen anything on the Sea Knight kit.

The guy at MRC who would know about FUTURE MRC projects and the release info on the CH46-E was on vacation this week...I will call again this Monday and let you'all know ASAP.....ok?

If this kit is anything the UH-60 or the Huey kits.....It's gonna ROCK!!!!!....hell it might be even better!?

Mike its an honor to be chewing the fat with you!

All War Vets deserve a big THANK YOU! but Nam Vets got the biggest short end of the stick than any!

We have a member here ( That hasn't posted in a short while ) who was with the Guns a Go Go HOOK team. I know a Pilot from the 'SLICK' and 'COBRA' team 173rd AHC Robinhoods - Nam 68-70

Take care!

Somebody talking about me? Big Smile [:D]

Hey Troy, sorry for the time away, I had Jury Duty for the last few days, GLAD that's over with! Happened to check here today and read this thread.

Mike, it is a pleasure to meet you sir; I am the webmaster of the "Guns A Go-Go" website, and have the "popasmoke" site on my links page. In one of my picture albums, I have a picture that was obviously a CH-46 in serious trouble... but I've yet to find anyone to identify it; time/place/outcome/etc. Maybe someone on the site will recognize it too. It was e-mailed to me several years ago in a group of 12 related pictures.



Thanks in advance, take care all....
Frank

God go with you my friend,
