You're welcome pal. I love the Blackhawk. One of the best looking and most capable helicopters ever built imho. I have a model made for Sikorsky by an Italian model maker. Got it after watching the movie from that place by the sea See ya - zzz time now ZIN

Some great models here! The SR-71 and F-14 have always been my favorites, and I can tell you from experience that the Blackhawk is a great ride. I got up close with a Raptor yesterday - coming home from the gym, the ground crew was towing one across the road at Dobbins on the way to the runway - I was no more than 20 feet away. Thought about snapping a picture, but with my job, I'm well aware of how much that's frowned upon. ;D

Guys Just a little departure here if I may please. Can anyone identify the assault rifles in the picture with the soldiers ( Rangers? ) on the ground. In the foreground is an M-16 but the others are not the same are they? And there's a M-60 machine gun used by the last soldier in the line? Thanks pals Y'all be well now ZIN Not usually shaken nor stirred ;D ;D ;D

From the foreground: M-16A2 M-4 carbine with M-203 grenade launcher M-4 carbine M249 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) The SAW packs good firepower in a much smaller package than the M-60. Here's a comparison: M249 M-60

Neil I knew you knew I knew you knew ;D ;D Thanks Pal That SAW really is quite something. I thought it might not have been a M-60, being too compact. Have a good day and thanks again ZIN Not usually shaken nor stirred ;D ;D ;D

Love those Black Hawk pictures. Spent a lot of time in Hueys and I always wanted to go up in one. Scott- Here is that picture of the Concorde. Better later than never.

Hey Zin.. Nice pictures!!! I remember the fan-fare of when the B-2 was first rolled out of the hanger for the press event down in So. Cal. I was living in San Diego at the time & would have loved to have been invited.... Remember how for the first few years or so you never saw a picture of the back of the plane, only frontal shots?
