Oldbaldguy Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Alright, I have a question. If I remember correctly, we tried to give the Afghan army a bunch of these things but they didn’t want them because of DA issues where they would fly them - apparently they lacked the power to operate safely in the mountains. That having been said and considering the diminutive size of an OH-6, could one pick up six big guys and a backseat full of stuff and still fly? Know nothing about ‘em, never flown in one, not sure I’ve ever seen one up close, but wondering nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy! Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 That’s a very tall stand. You sure you have enough horses and men if that thing falls off? Pete Fleischmann and Landrotten Highlander 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure you have enough horses and men if that thing falls off? It’s tall. but it’s also fat. This display is more of a limerick than a nursery rhyme. “Humpty Dumpty sat on a stick- Humpty Dumpty had a big…” well- you get it.

Dukie99 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Love the Nightstalker patch. Is that metal and enamel? Would go nicely next to my MH-47G. Is that on sale somewhere or do you need to be one of legitimate sons of Ares to land one? Most impressive base for sure Cheers, David Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
