MH-6 Bench seats
Posted by Mogwa on Saturday, September 3, 2005 9:43 PM
Does anyone have any clear shots of the bench seats and mounts on the MH-6j ? I have the MH-6 set from cobra and it looks really nice, however the pix I'm finding seem to show some sort of folding mounts which allow the cabin doors to be mounted and closed. Is this a new mod? I know its hard to get a clear pic of something thats fat black everywhere but if you know of one, please post it.

It is general consensus that there are two types of Operator planks on MH-6J Littlebirds. The older style as seen in the below pics, which do fold up. They are a solid plank that looks like a park bench. The rear door simply appears to have the bottom 6" or so cut off to allow them to close and the plank supports to still stick out.




Then there is the newer folding type as found in the CC set. These fold up on the fore and aft end with the center section being a solid plank that runs through the rear cabin. I am assuming the rear doors could be cut to close over the plank as well. Can't find any pics of the CC type, but I have seen a Littlebird with this type at Hunter AAF, GA, home of the 160th SOAR.
