NAVY/MARINE HELOS

Fluco, thought of you yesterday when i was exiting a store along I-10 and coming straight at me were three navy or marine helicopters in formation at about 400-500 feet or so it seemed, probaby higher. watched them pass, think they were sea stallions, big dudes. coming from the gulf area but not sure where they were headed but a neat site and sound.

Miss hearing that sound from the cockpit, but on long trips don't miss their speed

well you are now driving a sleeker vehicle with a couple of jets strapped on her, can't carry as much but you can get there a whole lot faster.

The MV-22 Osprey is better with the speed, have you seen one in flight? Pretty impressive...

only on tape, not in person and to me just looks awkward because of the prop deal, not used to that set up at all. seems they have gotten the bugs out of the osprey finally and it is a great platform for the marines.
