Thanks bud yeah not a lot of pics there and I have looked at some of the groups on FB. I have the Battlefield helicopter book that has a few pics of them but was hoping to see if there were any differences in the cockpit other than the avionics for the PNVS and monocle system

Hey guys does anyone have pics of the surrogate Cobra's used to train the bag for Apache pilots. Need cockpit pics mostly but walkaround would be good as well. Thanks Erick

Good to see a Blackhawk that looks like the real thing

Isnt that what you old guys learned to fly during flight school.... ducking for cover bwahahahahah

crewchief

Those things in front of the seats are to stop thing from falling down under the seats basically

Looks sharp bro

the feet will be usually on the outer edges of the pedals not on the pedals the rounded part is for the pedal trim system and we only put our feet on those when we want to reset the trim. in flight most pilots feet are on the floor or just on the outside edges of the pedals as stated

Not all pilots carried M4s but most of the crewchiefs and medics did. Sometimes we put them up there so we could carry baggage and supplies and we used just cargo straps to hold them up. If we did carry a spine board it was just one and we put it anywhere we had room. yes that is the tool box I told you about for supplies and that is a heart shocker on top cant remember the name of it now hahah. and yes we did carry the old hoist just like the Huey

I had my M-4 next to my seat and the CC and Medic had theirs next to their seats

No carousel in our birds in Afghanistan, they were to heavy and affected performance. Ill find those pics and post them plus any other cool ones that you can use

no carousels in Afghanistan we had two litters strapped to the floor a hoist and a tool chest cargo strapped to the back wall for medic supplies I have pics just got to dig them out
