Okay, okay.... here's a photo-chop I did on a "G" model 53 a while back... a modern day SkyCrane! Big Smile [:D]



Both aircraft have their own virtues; their own roles, at which they excel. Whenever a "53" crew came around, they always liked hanging around, staring at our aircraft, and talking with the Hook crews.... just like WE use to hang around, staring at theirs', and talk to them when we were in their AO. It was a mutual admiration type association... the same as we should have here, right? Smile [:)]

On a side-note.... I'm sure everyone's seen Vietnam era photos of CH-54's slinging a CH-47.... but, has anyone ever seen a Chinook slinging a Crane?



Take care, Smile [:)]

Nop, I just started doing this back in Jan of 05. I was in to my Bike racing then it took up all of my time and money. I do not know what my wife hates most. Me doing that are this! Wink [;)] I live in my grage.

I think we all can relate to that in one way or the other.

Bike racing huh? wow......I don't picture a dude who does that building model kits at all? ......you see new stuff all the time.

My wife compares me with her friends husbands and she says at least she knows where I am.......

At the Hobby Shop! Tongue [:P]

"Troy!.......it's your Wife!....she's tracked ya down!....do you want to take this call?"
