Sadly no, i used to go there and see it when i was a kid, but they've since moved it into an experimental hangar that no ones really allowed in to

Dumping in order so just stay with me

Do you think any of the old warbirds could be made operational again?

>>30729972
>Anyone want pictures?
Not really. Fuck do I care about rotary winged aircraft if I'm not jumping from them?

>>30729972
Anything super interesting ?

I was just about to ask if everything there looked like a bunch of fake/cheesy garbage. But it is good to see the indoor aircraft are pristine.

just a really neat aircraft, and knowing what I know now, I would love to go climb back in and look around some more

BV-347

A chinook that has been stretched, given more power, rotors with an extra blade and longer blades, wings that rotate between horizontal and vertical for flight and hover, and a second cockpit that lowers and is fear facing so a pilot can fly the bird while looking at a cargo to be sling loaded

Ill bet, i was real young when it was in the main museum, then one day they threw her on a flatbed and i never saw it again

>>30731374

Close

>>30731374
a real shame, they really should throw the blades back on it inside the main museum, I mean that Comanche is like 1 of 7 ever built, I think they built 2 that actually flew and 5 others that were still under construction (citation needed...I believe I had been told this at one point), and at $7 billion expended on the program, whew thats an expensive heli!

thanks m8

>>30731705
thank you OP

>>30731487
Sometimes you've got to stop throwing away good money after the bad. The Comanche had several severe problems and the contractors had intractable project management issues nad had proven themselves unable, or unwilling, to resolve the problems with the aircraft and the development program.

>>30729972

Fantastic pics, OP.

>>30729972
Nice thread OP

Thanks anon.

>>30731705
Thanks!

>>30729972
The one on ft. rucker?

>>30736239
