@wink you are starting to make me hate you. Why are you so cruel?

Well then, you should know, our UH-1B Gunship was pulled from the Commemorative Air Force Museum in Mesa, AZ to send to Anaheim for HAI (more about that later), we received another Cobra that will be restored as a static display aircraft as we are pulling parts from it for our flying Cobra, and we recently received an excellent UH-1H that is being restored to airworthy condition. If that doesn't make you envious, I'll let you know if we get an O-1 Bird Dog I can fly myself.

Update. Our UH-1B combat vet will not be at HAI. Instead our AH-1F Cobra left today for HAI. Most of the guys crewing the display will be from our SOCAL det. But one of the pilots from AZ will be there, Wes, knows me. If you see the awesome Black and Gold Cobra, stop in and say howdy.

I will be out at the Phoenix Open with our thrice shot down UH-1M gun ship. This video is of the placement of the Huey and promoting the Patriots Outpost. Listen carefully, that is free admission and 3 days of free food and drink for vets, reserve and active. See the link in the above post for details on how to get free admission. Stop by the Huey and say hi. Yes, that is a Navy Commander painted on the door as co-pilot :eek:.

View attachment 24167So, can a former enlisted (gasp) Marine hang out here and talk private flying?

Semper Fi @skybert! I too am a former USMC grunt with just enough education to slip by the officer recruiters back in the old days! All are welcome to wax philosophic about their aircraft, flying experience, or pretty much anything.

Tell us about your bird. Looks cold where you are flying...Ohio?

Unless I’m mistaken that is a diagram for an old school fan marker used mostly for en-route navigation. As I recall they worked as a non-precision approach that used a flashing white light and a repeating dot-dash-dot signal. I don’t think there are any around any more.
