Threads showing actual operational use of helicoptors can provide a diorama idea for someone. We all knew American helicopters were providing relief assistance in Pakistan, but I had not seen any on the news. Could have been Chinooks, -53Es, Black Hawks, Pave Hawks or Navy -60s; I didn't know until I saw these pix (I know other types are being used, but at least I've seen
something now)
I decided not to build my 1/48 UH-1N as a Marine Huey, but instead finish it as an Eglin-based USAF Huey that pulled people off of rooftops in New Orleans. Had I not asked about it on that thread, I would have never seen those screen captures that'll help me finish it in accurate markings.
