Never heard about this one.....
I remember that model too.I built a Revell model of this plane when I was a kid.
Brings back memories. I made many air assaults in that position in '68 (substituting an M16 for the tool box of coarse).He would sit in the door on the floor holding his toolbox with one hand and the rail w the other...with his feet on the landing gear..
Dad said it was pretty spectacular seeing the tracer rounds in the jungle at night from the door opening of the helicopter.Brings back memories. I made many air assaults in that position in '68 (substituting an M16 for the tool box of coarse).
I can only imagine. I always saw them from the other end. Still pretty spectacular.Dad said it was pretty spectacular seeing the tracer rounds in the jungle at night from the door opening of the helicopter.
Anyone wants to build a full scale model I have a few used and NOS engine cowlings for the C-47.. View attachment 1083390 View attachment 1083391 View attachment 1083392 View attachment 1083393 View attachment 1083394
