Apaches and "self extraction"
Posted by Cobrahistorian on Tuesday, March 8, 2005 5:43 AM
Hey guys,

I know I'd mentioned it before and I've gotten a few requests for this pic, so here's the 4th ID Longbow with two Delta operators attached to the outside. Great stuff!



Gotta love the guy in his Chuck Taylors on the aircraft's left side!

Amazing! I remember a CO making me take my plywood storage box I was sitting on in the well of a Huey becasue it wasn't "crashworthy" and put the standard seats back in before we could fly a mission. Two guys sitting outside, heads in front of turbine intakes, that CO would turn over in his grave!

Clear Left!

And never mind the feet resting on the missile racks. Talk about a hot foot!

Too cool! You know those guys won some kind of bet or something, lol.
Hope they don't get itchy trigger fingers and start sending brass into those intakes!

CH, thanks for the photo! I beleive I know now where my "word" originated. Got to be the rollercoster ride from the devil! Remember SPIE rigging? I´d love to have some photos of exactly how those D Boys are rigged. Still say it´d make an outstanding diorama. And, I must say, your word is good. You deleiverd. Thanks for the effort. Semper Fidelis, 44Mac
