new "Guns A Go-Go": Revised

   Great pics Frank!

Thanks so much!

Frank,

  I saw the new Guns-A-Go-Go patch recently at Rucker, and I'm happy to see them back in action.  Thanks for the update.

Frank,

Great pictures, and some great info.  How long is the fuel probe on that thing?  It looks a mile long.  That's a little something extra for the pilots to think about. 

What helo deck is that?  Normally I'd be offended, because a helo deck is CH-53 territory.  However, it's such a cool picture that I don't mind.  JK

Be sure to thank and congradulate Guns a Go Go for us.

Semper Fi,

Chris 

Ah the MH-47E  my bird. I'm an Avionics/Elecrtical instructor for the MH-47E and the new MH-47G as well.  I also like to mix my love for Sci-fi with work.  I'd kill for an accurate model of one.

 Here I am in front of an E

and a few of us clones (I'm in Green) with a DAP Blackhawk

Wow, that pic from Fort Lewis sure brings me back...I used to live right next to that airfield back in my Army days!  

Tambo - sweet clone pics.

I'm going to have to hit you up some time for some reference photos, as I've been reaaaaaly meaning to build a DAP one of these days...

   That is just supercool!

You have more pics of MH-47's?

I have tons of Pics...Many that I can not show.  This is my Aircraft I know most every detail of the E & G.  What particular shot or area do you need?

That clone pic infront of the DAP rocks.

Thanks for sharing,

Austin 

   Great! I will take any pic you can share. More pics - better! I am building -47E/g in 1/35 scale and there is never enough pics.

   I am pritty sure everybody here will really apritiate if you post some more pics of the E/G Hook!

 Thanks

Andy

  Well I dont really need to go into avionics and NAV aids upgraid details.  All I care about is external difference in airframe. But if you can not post any other pic - totaly understand.

  Thanks anyway

Andy

Hi gang!   I thought I would stop by, see whats going on and what kind of damage Frank has magaged to do while I have been away.

Frank, the other day I spoke to a guy up here from Fort Lewis.... he has a buddy who is a Crew Chief with the new Go Go's..I did not get names......but he said his pal was very excited to be in the group...he said they all are.   I couldn't help but ask because he had a Hook patch on his shoulder, turns out he's with a reserve/air rescue at Lewis.

Still have not picked up a copy of the new 1/48 A-hook....but have noticed there are some EDUARD goodies.....has COBRA done anything?

TAMBO....We gotta talk!  I would PM you but ...no option.  Thats why I don't post here often enough cuz I'm always stuck building Sci-Fi.

Thank you for the photo, sir.  That was the one I saw at Rucker.  As I said, nice to have 'em back and welcome to the forum.
