Commanche pics anyone?....

As for Ft. Rucker, you are correct.  Prototype aircraft 2 (95-0001) was returned there last month for display.  I hope it's back in the main building, where we put it when it was first delivered there.  One note - that aircraft may still carry the tail number of the other prototype (94-0327).  We swapped vertical tails to give the Rucker display aircraft the final configuration, and I don't think the museum ever repainted the tail number.

It's spelled Comanche, and I have a number of digital photos.  I was the Army Test Engineer for Comanche flight test.  E-mail me at hollenbaugh@mindspring.com and we'll talk about what you need.  If you search RAH-66 Comanche on this forum, you'll find a general description of the configurations of the test and production aircraft that I posted last year.

for a real "what if" sheme you could break current standard and go digital camo. I have a couple of pics at work of an F18 in overall digital camo. Very interesting!  That would be a LOT of masking squares, luckily Gatorsmask can make you anything you want in a vinyl mask sheet, just give him artwork or tell him you want a particluar shape, etc.   I have several masking sheets from him.

I believe one of the prototypes has returned here to Mother Rucker.  Once I've got some free time after April 15th, I'm gonna see if I can get into the museum's storage facility and take some pics of it.  A great deal of the documentation from the program is in the museum's archives (I've gone through most of it)

If I can get in, I'll post whatever pics I can!

Firstly to the forums. And to answer your question I've got two but I don't know how much help they will be. You could also try a google search like 'RAH-66 Commanche Walkaround'.
