                        I don't think I'm going to make it to Sikorsky's Family day.  I got out of the Marine Corps a couple of months ago, and I'm living in Ohio now.  I don't think I'm invited, and it's a long drive to Conneticut.

                        Hey there Chris.  How's it going?  I hear Sikorsky is having another family day.  You probably aren't scheduled for upgrade, huh?  I am not sure if I am going this year or not.  Last one was pretty good but the 75th anniversary one was a lot better.  No word on this one is going to be yet.  It is scheduled for mid-October.  We'll just have to wait and see.

                        The price seems kinda low.....not that I'm complaining.

                        Isn't Acedamy and MRC the same company?

                        Straighten up and fly right.....

                        It looks like a HMX bird to me.

                        From the single pic, it seems to be the ACTUAL Whitehawk, not a blackhawk in presidential markings.

                        Thought it might be since MiniCraft has a whole line of 1/48 H-60 models.  The best in 1/48 I might add.

                        Hmmm.  Which Marine One?  Is it the H-3, CH-46, CH-53, VH-60, etc.  Can't really tell anything about it without a pic or description.  It could be interesting.
