Just wanted to share -- www.usmc.mil -- for reference photos

I don't know about everyone else here, but I've recently discovered a great resource for very up-to-date reference photos for Marine helos: www.usmc.mil. Go to the left side bar, and under the search parameters, select the image archive. Type in your aircraft of interest and bingo. The great thing about these shots, I think, is that they show the Marines working around the birds. There are some great shots of ordnance, engine bays, pilots in the cockpit, etc. Every photo is available in high-resolution, as well. And of course, many many photos of the most recent actions in OIF and OEF. Anyways, just thought I'd share for anyone looking for good angles on their next USMC helo.

I've been using that site to keep track of my old unit for ages now.  I love it.

Believe it or not, I've actually gotten some prime AH-64A shots from usmc.mil!  Not to mention all of the fantastic Cobra shots they have.  It is definitely a kick-@$$ website!
