JimSWreef's 75g Build Progressive Thread

No worries lol, just talk about chinooks or kiowas and u will be okay lol. My brother is a uh60m pilot and it's my duty to give him **** all the time! Chevy Malibu of the army [emoji3]
Hahaha! Nice. My buddy used to be a contractor for the military and worked on chinooks overseas, now he's stateside working on the the small reconnaissance king airs.

So Chinooks are the Chevy Corvette of the army?
 
Well around here there's really only one, it's a yellow mosquitoe control helicopter and my buddy is the pilot. I don't have a license but he let's me get the control from time to time. I used to fly radio control helicopters with my dad so I have a good understanding on how they work. As far as sightseeing goes, I don't think we have that around here. I'm in Savannah ga,

Oh I see. I fly RC helicopters and planes to. Although I've had more luck with my planes. Where I live all you see in the sky is MH-60R's about once a day.

This was a pic taken of me during a gunnery in Korea.

Planes are a bit more fun in my opinion. Wish I could get into the cockpit of an f/18A.

I really appreciate it. Its far from perfect, but like you said i am very happy how it turned out with the tools and material i had.

Cheers
 
I am a private rotor craft pilot as well. I haven't flown in a few years, but used to fly R-22, R-44 and have flown a couple Bell 407's. Almost went the military route and flew, but things came up. Total respect Jim, I can appreciate what you do.
 
Here it is guys and gals! I am back from my field exercise with the army. As you would guess i came right home and got to work. I am anxious to get life into my tank.

Here are a few photos of what ive done since ive been home.

I did about a 40% water change, hooked up some sloppy electrical (organizing electrical today), hooked up the neptune apex probes, bought a wifi extender for the apex, installed my skimmer and brs dual gfo/carbon reactorand installed accent lighting for the cubbies.
