Neat bird but I'm not sure we need an airworthy example of one...

Isn't there already an airworthy one? I thought I remember reading about one that is privately owned.

Why not? All who served, deserve our honor of their efforts. I like the oldies
off the beaten path. Classic Rotors, Ramona, Calif. has a flying HUP-1 ...

There were a couple of HUP hulks at Quartzite, Ariz. about 4 or 5 years back
right off of I-10 at the old car dudes place...

My tounge was firmly planted in my cheek when I was posting that opinion, but that does not translate well to a message board.

I suspected as much...I was just playing out the banter. I've been reading you
for years. Am I remembering correctly, was that you on another web forum years back
making queries about the Ton Son Nhut Bearcat's? If so, how did that search go? Any pics?

Warbirdnerd, ya just haven't had the pleasure of seeing one in person, these things are cool.

Nice pics Roger - thanks! It is indeed a very cool change of pace to see these rotary wing things flying - I mean beating the air into submission!

Enjoy the Day! Mark
