Status: offline 		"Speed Limit" is bogus.

Not ranting, so don't get me wrong. It's a photoshop job, and not a good one. Look at the lighting of the heli and the bushes, and consider what propwash would do to immediate surroundings. I'm surprised no one called this sooner. I admire and respect the rightous flying displayed by the legit pics on this thread.

Of course it's not real. I'm sure that anyone who has seen this photo and "objects in this mirror are closer then they appear" knows that they have been photoshop edited. The objective was humor and not realistic depictions of helicopter flight. I think they've succeeded in their intent and I enjoy them.

Happy flying

Status: offline 		Here are a few pictures for everyone to enjoy. It would almost be blasphemous of me not to post Chinook photo's.

This is "Rosie" circling for a supply drop at 11,500ft in April 2006 somewhere in the Konar Valley, Afghanistan.

This is one of ours on approach to the “lumberyard” in the Korengal Valley, Afghanistan.

Status: offline 		Here are some photos of the most heavy armed Helicopter in the world.
This is “Easy Money” at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville Alabama. This is the last surviving member of the ACH-47 “Guns-A-Go-Go” during Vietnam.

The “Gun’s a Go-Go” were Armed with a 40mm in the nose, 5ea .50 cal machine guns (one on the Ramp), and a combination of 2 ea in wing stores, 2.75in rocket pods, 7.62 mini guns, or 20mm cannon’s.

SN# 64-13151 “Stump Jumper” was lost in ’66 from a blade strike in a ground taxi incident.
SN# 64-13145 “Co$t of Living” was lost in ’67 when the forward bolt on the 20mm dislodged and shot up the forward blades.
SN# 64-13154 “Birth Control” was shot down in ’68. While waiting for the DART, the NVA destroyed her with mortar rounds.
SN# 64-13149 “Easy Money” was retired after “Birth Control” was destroyed, she was restored at FT Eustis, VA. You can tell by the photo that she was restored with “D” model blades.
