                        Blackhawk soundproofing colors

                        I was replacing some soundproofing yesterday and it the difference in color between the old and new material really struck me. The old material fades to olive drab while the new stuff is very green with a distinct blue tone, much like Testors helo green with a little blue added. just something to think about on your next build to add some interest inside.

                        The new soundproofing is a sage green, I think. Almost like a brand new flight suit.

                        You know that new 'Hawks have the same 'new aircraft smell' that cars have when they're new? ( OK, why is he talking about smell? The new flightsuit thing made me think of mothballs, I know I'm deranged!)

                        What model -60 are you guys refering to? The Army hawks I've seen & worked on have medium grey soundproofing.

                        Alphas and Limas. It's a matter of how old the aircraft is, and how worn and oil stained the soundproofing is.

                        I haven't come across any gray myself. Do you mean like in the -47's and Hueys?

                        The primary purpose of the large red rings is for air transportability, as in a C-5 or C-17 loadout. However, since I am an Air Assault School graduate, I can testify to their usefulness for rappelling ops.

                        In these pics it does look tan, but what you see is the OD color that I was refering to.

                        Srreaming, I mean exactly like -47s & Hueys. But I digress. Its been a few years since the -60s left the facility I work at. I've forgotten about those interior panels on the cabin ceiling.

                        We were at Planet Campbell at the same time...I went to TAAS in DEC '94.
                        I was a Commanchero, A Co. 4/101. I'll guess you were somewhere in 7th Bat?

                        Yup, B-7-101 AVN. Don't miss the place one bit.

                        I'm always amazed at how small a world army aviation is. Our hangars were right around the corner from each other. We've probably seen each other hundreds of times and don't even know it. Amazing.
