Yes, Steve, a fine aircraft . . . . . once they stopped breaking in two.

Richard, to be truthful, I was afraid to fly in them until they figured out that “hover aft” as a speed break wasn’t a great idea, and until they put the spar leakage indicators on the rotors. In July ‘69, I lost one of my closest friends in a Purple Fox (HMM 364) crash. That said, once those were fixed/in place they had a good record.Missing Link said:Not looking for a fight, Steve; my post above was supposed to have a smiley face.

No worries, Park is a Marine Mustang, so I’m sure he will understand about his thread being hijacked...Missing Link said:Sorry to hear about the tragic passing of your friend aboard a 46. Senseless loses like that are extra difficult to accept.
We'd better get back to R-pods or the site administrators are going to chastise us. Semper fi to you as well.
