An earlier post questioned our helicopter as to if it was a Bell 47G or a H13. Here is a picture of the Data block from the side of the helicopter as proof.

I think I understand why those “Limp Richard Chits” were so popular in Navy (and other services from what I hear).

Did you land your copter in the Hooters parking lot? Your passenger seems to have deployed her Mae West before exiting the aircraft, a no-no. And you swore you would quit hanging around those places. Did you fall in with bad influences like Jay Cullum?

The pics came from Scott Slocum of "Autopilot " magazine fame, who is making a calender called "Bombshells".
His site won't be up for a couple of weeks. www.mybombshells.com. The calender will feature aircraft
from the Cavanaugh and Lone Star Flight Museums. I put up more picures when I'm done with them.
