AH-1G "Gladiator" question

I would say most of the cav birds I've seen in this configuration had 7 shot rocket pods everywhere else......but this link shows one with a 19 shot pod balancing the 20mm

Im hunting through my pics at the moment, the only thing i have so far is some video footage of vietnam with an AH-1G in flight with the M-35 on the port side and 2 Orange pods?! on the starboard.

Andy:

I went to TM55-1520-236-10 and it does not show the M35 configuration. This doesn't mean anything as you would have to find a copy of the original G model dash 10. I know the port side 20mm was used but how extensively I don't know. The color orange on components is used when items are used for experimental flight. You might try the AMCOM  at that time it was AAVSCOM website as they would have been the governing agency.

Gino,

I say go with the XM-18 pod on the left inboard station.  Makes things much more interesting.  If you need an extra pod, I've got a couple and may be up in your neck of the woods next weekend.

Jon,

Sounds good.  Send me an email and we can work something out and link up next weekend.
