Gents,

bear with me, although it involves helicopters one of our CIA members is the reason for this post... Cool

Just in case it has slipped below the Radar, a gentleman well known to us has recently published a book and here is a review for said work:

Vietnam Scrapbook – an Army Pilot’s Combat Tour

It seems I have found another addition to my library.

Hey! That's not a Agusta 109 on the cover! Laughing

A-109E

Aw, c'mon, Jens, yer embarassin' me.

<grin>
I'm tardy responding to your very nice post since I've been out of town, but I'll mention that the difference between the Huey.......

....and the Agusta A-109E.......

....is the difference between a pickup truck and........a Ferarri Testarossa.

I mean, what is all this stuff? Shocked

Cheers!

Bob,
Glass cockpits are nice and all (funny how much that resembles a cobra panel at a glance)...but wouldn't you really rather fly one of these?

Well, heck yeah! I know I can never aspire to fly one of the highly-sought after and vaunted LEGO helicopters, and your subject, Doug, is a very close cousin of one.

I'll probably have to resign myself to flying the lowly A-109E in Margaritaville for the rest of my tour.........sigh.
