Nicely done. Actually, the Huey you have in the picture is a C model. The "D" had a longer fuselage and didn't have the air filter.

You're welcome. I grew up during the Vietnam War and I live near McGuire AFB/Ft. Dix so we got them (and still do on occasion) flying overhead. I've been a wing nut (airplane fanatic) since I was a kid so I've done a lot of reading on the subject. The funny thing is I've been living with helicopters flying overhead for so long, I can more or less tell which kind of helicopter (at least in general terms and occasionally a specific type) just from the rotor noise. I live just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia so we get the news helicopters, the medical helicopters along with the occasional military helicopter on a daily basis. You get good at it after a while.

Wow, that's pretty cool. Unfortunately for us, there are no AFB's in Oregon. D:

Made us a big fat target back in the old days. They do have a nice air show at McGuire. I don't know if they're having one this year. I'll have to check.
