Agreed.
Collins should host the Tonight Show:

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)

close to NZ$200,000

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

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.

Answers a small nagging question I had: Yes they can fly off ALL our Naval Ships

Wow Jan 2021 post... well sleuthed!

As I recall but can't locate the post: you predicted the MH-60.

Quite the expert community, around these parts

[Naki]

Hmm so I did!...but I've seen another one of my posts from 2012 saying it would be the Wildcat

Although I got the P-8s, T-6s and Kingairs right....

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
