Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should .

Every once in a while, something comes along that reminds us why we still need the death penalty.

Free Chinook rides with service to Kandahar. Just sign on the dotted line.

Except that’s a CH-46 (BV-101). The Marines will take you to Kandahar.

Vertol 107-II, on which the Sea Knight is based, correct?

That’s one way to “wash” your car.

I’m a bit worried about New York Airways safety record to be honest...

Ouch.

Correct. The 107 went into civilian service first. I’ve got an article about it coming up next week.

I still remember how difficult it had been to paint the “smile” of the cockpit section on the clear plastic of this:

I know, I’ve been trying all this time to correct it, only for the picture to appear double... etc. Sorry about that.

Seems to be fine now.

No worries. That’s a cool model. I found this while looking for pics for my upcoming post.

Fascinating. With control surfaces?

Interestingly its registration number is only three digits higher than the one in the civilian V-107 you posted earlier.

Another one of the same ship:

ALL the airflow indicators. I’m not sure why they would have added those stub wings. Also, I would imagine that the early ships would have received consecutive registrations.

That was a rather grisly accident.
