Quoted: sweet! what (if anything) does the name pavelow mean? chinook...cobra...apache...even huey, i can 'get'. but pavelow has always bugged me.

It's a "military'ism" code phrase--- the AF particularly loves that stuff. I was once told that PAVE was "Precision Angle Vector Elecronics".....as such, as programs are named, (either black or white, that can ident a program for funding, R&D, etc), with a second name. PAVE is the catory if you will, Low is the specific identifier.

There are other "Paves"  : PavePaws, PavePenny, PaveNail, etc... all are high tech electronics integrated for a specific capabilty.

There is a "Have" catagory....sometimes things are placed in that catagory.....Have Blue was the name of the 117 program when it was living out of sight, for example. All Cleared up now?   Bwahahaha!

Yup, a box of diodes.....glamorous, huh?

But it worked while the mission was black....just a fancy Rescue bird, don't cha know?   Bwahahaha!

I can get FM, you just have to kick it right; that's why the side of the lower console is always dented....

For the price, even I could have gotten AC/Power Windows and a CD player......oh well

The 9 ship 53 formation was pretty cool. It was supposed to be 10 but one had to bow out on the runway and taxied back to the 53 parking area.
