Really neat to see a Cheyanne in person, got to see the one at Ft. Eustis before it moved to Ft. Rucker.


Isn't that the only Cheyanne left now, or are there others too?

Wikipedia says that there are 4 of Cheyennes:
No. 2 66-8827 is on display at Fort Polk, Louisiana.
No. 5 66-8830 is stored at the Army Aviation Museum, Fort Rucker, Alabama.
No. 6 66-8831 is on display at Fort Campbell.
No. 7 66-8832 is on display at the Army Aviation Museum, Fort Rucker.

Oh that's good. I didn't realise there were so many.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Helicoprion

That TERATORN nickname is sweet, I assume referencing the Teratornis genus of gigantic prehistoric birds of prey. I believe Teratornis merriami had an estimated wingspan of 14 feet.

Whatever.
