Cool Nik! I really like Iroquois'. One flew over my house yesterday, I think it was doing an annual cannabis recon or something.

Agree, great shot.
Love that Huey sound too, think I'll have to go dig out my old copy of Apocalypse Now
Those Sea Sprites are mean machines, though, aren't they?

[ZK-TJL]

Yeah........the sea sprite is an animal..........faster than the Iroquois, its a serch and destroy machine. Can carry torpedos, air to surface missles and depth chargers, Forward facing IR cameras, you can run, but you can't hide!!!!!!!!

Yeah.........love that unique sound of those "sonic booms", these sounds are made when then blades break the sound barrier. Almost all helos do this but the 2 blade design of the Huey kicks up that "wop wop". Some of the newer high tech helos don't break the sound barrier, they spin the rotor slower, for a silent stealthy approach to target.
