John thanks for the correction.  You are correct and I was pretty tired when I wrote that.

I finally got around to renaming and uploading the photos this morning. 67 new detail photos of the 65C and 60J uploaded. I also have several detail speciality shots of unusual angles of the MH53E that was on hand from Vanguards as well.I hope someone can use these...the photos on my website are several years old now. The configuration internally of the HH60J looks to have slightly changed, while the HH65C has undergone a great upgrade, going away from the crappy ( I worked on them so I know!) LTS101s to the Arriel engine. Thermal coatings have been added to the exhaust areas and forward driveshft. You will see where parts of the orange and stencilling have been overpainted due to this MOD action. Note half the word BEWARE is gone. Also the new search radar has been grafted on giving the 65C a much updated look!!

Unfortunately, unlike the NASL crews, the NASNO crews were not willing to crack panels for me. If you want interior shots inside the panels head to my site. The MH53 photos are not up on Photobucket yet, I have the free so I need to strip out a bunch of old stuff to make room for the MH53 E walkaround. Exterior only, the line to get inside was HUGE!

David,

 The HH-65C is the Dolphin, but the MH-68 Stingray is also a Coast Guard bird.  Is that the one you're talking about?  If so, I'm definitely up for seeing more of that bird!

Good morning, Jon.

Hey! If you haven't been to David's web site, you need to check it out! He's a helicopter mechanic and his builds are great! In my humble opinion.

Hi Guys

I just got back from the NAS New Orleans show and I will soon be making available walkaround photos from the three helos in attendance. Static display was LOW. I mean LOW.  F15/F16/ F18 Yak52/C172 and a Air Force VIP type jet, with MH53e,HH60J and HH65C (Stingray?) recieving by far the most attention. You always have lines of kids to climb in the F15, but they tend to run straight to the things that can fly backwards when they leave the fast movers!!

I have a lot of interior shots as well as detailed exterior shots (as much as the crew would allow access to, they would not open panels for me today)  If you need panel open shots of Dauphin you can link to my website and check out the walkaround gallery

Look for it in a day or two, between the Lafayette Acadiana Pastic Modelers contest yesterday, a party last night and the airshow today, Im whooped!
