And co-incidentally, Miltech's MH60 is finding a lot of time in my MSFS at present.
It's a beast.

So, with a hellfire missile costing close to NZ$200,000 I'm figuring maybe 1 missile per helicopter. This should strike fear into the enemy.

The museum team at Wigram will be looking at yet another hanger.
I cant imagine any real resale value for the 757's....just park one up at NZCH, pull it apart and truck it over to Wigram.... and put the other one on Trade me (buyer must pickup)

No accident we are close friends with folk who not only have our helo, but bullets for it!
And, my brutha, if it all unravels, I can find you a lightly soiled Hellfire for just USD 100k. Cash only B-)

Not a military aircraft, so it does not fit the remit for the Museum (same as the 727 - they only ended up with one because it was disposed from Woodbourne training school). Also the 757 is too big.

:clap: there's also a another reskin for the ProjectAirbus A321 that looks similar (not identical) done at a similar time, also w the cargo door mod.

wonder if the same author? would love to get the model/.air files but the other guy hasn't gotten permission to share from the PA team :wub:
