Zowee!!! Might be good comouflage to hide your helicopter in a strip bar.

Doesn't matter - it looks like my favorite chopper of all time : the Sikorsky CH-53, if I'm not mistaken.


P.S. - How long did that poor girl have to stand there for them to make that silhouette?!?

That is awesome, wonder how many people (civs) actually notice it without someone pointing it out...

Definitely puts a little more “umph!” into that camo scheme.

Side note: Of all the aircraft I saw at an airshow years ago, the Marine helos were absolutely the worse kept, scummiest, pigpen bunch on the flightline. Looked pretty good, actually!

That's pretty cool to do that.
I agree you wouldn't even notice it unless it was pointed out.

Re: Marine Over There

That would be great to see that aircraft in a diecast model.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Re: Marine Over There

That's one "sexy" helicopter! When my son returns home from Iraq I'll have to show him these pics. He should get a kick out of them.
