There's a pic in that Huey book of a bird with some sort of signal
firing or dropping device behind the pilot's seat. I don't know how I
managed it, but I made a really convincing replica, based on that one
photo. Of course every angle but that one in the photo was almost pure
conjecture on my part, but still, it was a bit of educated guesswork I
felt comfortable with.
I've got a flim clip somewhere, from an email, of a German helicoptor
coming in for a landing, loaded with a German Army squad, and then it
goes berserk, spins and crashes on the ground. One or two of the guys
fell out during the spin, and one looked like he got a bit smooshed.
Looked like an airshow or something, because the grunts were kind of
posing. A sniper was aiming his weapon when it happened. Guess the
crash screwed up his shot.
