Hi Ian

I have been using the RNZAF huey by Deane Baunton, available from hovercontrol.com, but i also made them too work on his US Army 1969 model at hovercontrol.

Love the old Air Cav bird.

Back in the day of the Huey, the 17th Air Cavalry used to say: "If you ain't Cav, you ain't $***!"

Hey Jagd, I'll be happy to do you a 17th cav paint, which coloured tailboom band does it need to have ?

In the meantime I have finnished up on these tonight.

Steve,

Lookin' good!

I don't remember colored bands on the tail booms, but it's been over 40 years ago. If there were, they were probably red for Alpha Troop, white for Bravo and blue for Charley Troop. I do recall that the tops of the little horizontal stabs were a signal orange color. The Cavalry pendent was often behind the pilot's door at about the height of a seated pilot's head, but you often saw them where you placed it on yours. The aircraft numbers were black with the last three numbers in white for easy ID when you were looking for a specific bird per the load plan.

One of the slicks in the Headquarters Troop of the 2/17 had a tail boom from an Australian slick and they kept the black kangaroo emblem on it.

By the way, the "Bah Mi Bah" logo (33 in Vietnamese) on the door of the Huey in the previous screen shot is a hoot. It wasn't very good beer, but it was... beer.

Here is a picture of a Huey at an air show simulating an Air Cav mission. Of course the wire cutters and the odd antenna behind the shark antenna are incorrect on a VN era Huey, but other than that it looks pretty good and given that is marked with the 101st Airborne patch, it should be a 2/17 Air Cav slick with a squad of the "Blues" platoon on board. I think that the red on the tail boom would make it an Alpha Troop bird.
 
Several years ago, I put many hours on the firefighting airframe. Deane's Huey is probably my favorite, and seeing this thread has inspired me to re-download the one I flew quite a bit. N10RF is the tailnumber I believe. I'll be getting some more rotor wing time here soon. :ernae:
 
Not dead yet but was coughing up blood. I had a HDD failure and retrieval of data is taking some time, I have managed to get most of my stuff back from it. I will upload to prob flightsim.com once I have them ready.

Sorry to hear that but I'm glad all was not lost. There is a growing list of projects that have fallen to the wayside of late through HDD fails, stories like yours made me go out and buy an external drive and backup files once a week. Can't wait to get a hold of these once you've got everything else squared away. Good luck with the retrieval.
