There were a couple of HUP hulks at Quartzite, Ariz. about 4 or 5 years back

I suspected as much...I was just playing out the banter. :hide: 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?

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
