Huey on a stick- UH-1C/M Huey Gunship.

Hi Guys,

Took a little road trip down to the Grayling area yesterday. Here are some pictures of Camp Grayling's UH-1C/M Gunship gate guard.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Alby

Looks good.  If you could play your pics in order, it would look like it is flying by and making a gun pass.  Good job.

Oboy! I didn't realize there were any SS-11 birds left!  That is too cool, Alby! 

I'm wondering if that bird actually flew with the system or if it was just hung on there for looks.  I thought all of the M22 system birds were B models.  Here's a couple pics.  The Aircav site has a bunch.

You are welcome, John. You and Melgyver came to mind as I was snapping these. The local VVA Hall has a UH-1H on a pole as well (which I pics of too-not sure if I have them posted here or not).

Cheers,
