I wonder if they've written up the missing screw for the M296's flash suppressor?

Is that a canon or a grenade launcher.

M296 .50 cal gun pod. It's nothing more than an M2 with some added parts such as an electric charger assembly, firing solenoid, and so on. |

Cool, thanks, reminded me of South African thing I saw when my uncle was in the airforce.
I got to go on base visits and such, we saw them experimenting with a 40mm grenade launcher on a modified Puma, don't know if they ever used them in combat though. |

Antenna mounts for the radar warning system. The antennas aren't mounted, so it's just a blank covering plate. |

RAG = Replacement Air Group The old time Navy designation for the Training Command Wings that ran the squadrons that did pilot/aircrew training. Now they are know as TRAWING = Training Wing He's with Marine Helicopter Training Squadron 302 = HMT-302. Tell your brother Semper Fi and to listen to the Crew Chief.

That pic was taken at Whiting Field in Jan. My oldest son and I flew down there for his winging. It was awesome. I hadn't been on a post (base-sorry I was Army) in almost 12 years. My son and I went to the museum at NAS Pcola. Absolutely awesome. I assure you that I constantly remind him to listen to the enlisted personnel. He called me the other day to tell me he heard the Sgt Mjr three walls away unloading on some E4 who'd gotten a DWI the weekend before. LMAO |

 "if the wings are going faster than the fuselage, you know you're in a helicopter".

I took all these in Iraq last year. I was a door gunner on a UH60. With just under 700 Combat hours and over a hundred combat missions I saw just about every type aircraft that flew over there and just about ALL of Iraq

Me back in 91. Just landed on the USS Kaufman, a Perry Class frigate in the Persian Gulf. We launched out of Bahrain and our weapons were uploaded after landed.
I flew AH1s from 80 to 87 and Kiowa Warriors from 91 to 98 until retirement. This particular airframe was one of the original Prime Chance birds (Google Prime Chance). Sadly, 910 ended up on the bottom of the Gulf about 5 weeks after this picture was taken. I loved the armed recon role and loved flying the KW. They are doing some outstanding work in the big sand box still. My Stetsons off to the folks still over there kicking ass.  |
