That should give you guys a hint as to what I am working on. I am modifying a Franklin Mint slick Huey into a ship from Air America. I will post pics when I am finished. My friend flew with Air America, so I plan on putting it in the markings of one of the ones he flew.

Ha! Ha! Air America's official slogan was Anything, Anywhere, Anytime, Professionally. The pilots had two that they made up. One was, Air America, the world's most shot at airline. The other was Come fly the friendly skies of Southeast Asia. The aircraft all had I.D. numbers on the sides, but they were fake, and usually used on more than one aircraft, so that you couldn't track any one aircraft. I am freinds with a couple of Air America pilots, and they all have some really amazing stories to tell.

There was a great show on the military or History Channel about a month or so ago on Air America. They had interviews with several pilots.........really amazing!
