    They look nice but aren't worth a shit, especially when it's hot and high. Very underpowered.

    My dad is out at Andrews AFB (now Joint Base Andrews) in Maryland and just sent me this pic of Marine-1 and an escort helicopter taking off. Air Force One just lifted off a couple minutes earlier. The President must be heading out to some warmer weather somewhere for a round of golf :D

    Pretty cool thread. I got off the night shift and should be in bed...but I came across this thread. Some good representation here! I flew Kiowa Warriors in the Army and currently in an L4 flying HEMS.
    I'll post a couple pics of my past and present acft. Big shout out to the former Kiowa guys.
    Currently in an L4. I will get some others up later. Hitting last night shift for the hitch tonight so going to bed. Y'all be safe.

    Good one.jpg
