Glad everyone's enjoying this one.

I'm not sure the exact circumstances of how this particular bird came to be this way, but the aircraft is from the "Taz Devils" of A Company, 1-501st Avn, 1st Armored Division, and that shot was taken in Iraq during OIF II, shortly after the division arrived there. The 501st's A models have all been handed off to other units and they are now undergoing Longbow transition at Ft. Hood.

Dunce [D)]Darn, Sarge! You told me to put on the spar. After I went ahead and jacked it up I just couldn't figure out where the heck the "spar" tire goes!

NO! That is not what I meant by retreating blade drag stall!

Well, you said what we needed was a bird we could canabilize parts off of!

Well I'll be! You can make a 4 point landing in an Apache!

" there was no wind my friend"
"ummm.. then it's the poltergeists(sp?)! yeah! the poltergeists!
