strikeeagle801 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 This video was filmed by my friend Jason. It features an MH-47G and a brand-new MH-60M (with 60 hours on it!) based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord fying in formation with "Grumpy", the world's oldest B-25D, owned and operated by the Historic Flight Foundation, and HFF's T-6 Texan as a photo plane. Let me know what you guys think. I'll pass the comments on to Jason, he'll appreciate them. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hookdriver Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I was just logging on to post this, it was an awesome flight that will probably never happen again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 I assume you were flying it then? I was SO disappointed I did not find out about it till after the fact. No, I'm guessing it won't. I would have given just about anything to see that MH-60M up close...And I would have been able to get some more pics for Floyd of your Chinook too. You guys don't exactly venture out in public very often ya know? Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You guys don't exactly venture out in public very often ya know? Aaron I've been feeding Floyd pics for awhile, the 60 was having a hard time keeping up. You are over near Yakima, right? If so you may hear us over there in 2 weeks Edited August 30, 2013 by Hookdriver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yeah, I'm about 30 miles north in Ellensburg. If you can give me any heads-up to when you're coming over, I'd appreciate it, especially if you are going to refuel at the Yakima airport while you are around. Drop me a PM on here or something. The last time the 60's were heading back from the YTC, they actually filled up here at Bowers Field, but (as luck would have it) I was in Yakima at the time, so I missed them.

hawkwrench Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Man, you 160th guys get all of the cool toys! Looks like Floyd is gonna have to build a new FLIR for the MH147 now!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Man, you 160th guys get all of the cool toys! Looks like Floyd is gonna have to build a new FLIR for the MH147 now!! That will be a part of the MH-47G conversion. I will need that, new instrument panel, and the IR exhausts. Did I miss anything? I think those parts will be CAD. Ain't that correct Norbert? LOL Cool video too. Floyd Edited August 30, 2013 by Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedCrown Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hey Floyd, do you have any previews of your NightStalkers part 2 decal sheet yet, with the MH-47, and MH-6M on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hey Floyd, do you have any previews of your NightStalkers part 2 decal sheet yet, with the MH-47, and MH-6M on it? Mason is the man for that, but in a word...no. LOL Floyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doupnik Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 The helos and profiles that I drew for part 2 are a bit out of date. We got a bunch of cool refs for new helos after the 1st set came out, so there will be some helos taken out and others added. Once some current projects get out, Floyd and I will look at doing the next set. Of course if you all want to buy some extra copies of the first set, that may speed things up a bit. mason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Besides, with the MH-60M out, we may want to wait a while and see what we can dig up on that! Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arkhunter2002 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 ^second. Pretty sweet seeing rotors and *ahem* "misplaced rotors" flying together... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think those parts will be CAD. Ain't that correct Norbert? LOL Cool video too. Floyd Yes, saw the differences on this model great video I must say, was somebody there with his 500 mm zoom ? CAD will be a great help for the exhaust, with his inside flower shape...need length, diameter and some more pics Floyd and it will be for you now that a crew with weapons is comming, I'm slowly thinking the Special Forces GB is too early...

Q Concepts Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Hey everyone, Been building models since I was a kid, but I recently found this forum. Here are a few shots of the MH-60M I took. www.qconcepts.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 All I can say is....I'm jealous. You guys get to play with cool stuff and all I see around my parks is T-38 with a U-2 from time to time. Btw, cool clip... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Here are a few shots of the MH-60M I took. Interesting. Is it an MH-60M or a new MH-60K? It looks like an M (down-turned blade tips, new step-fairings, etc.) with all the K mods (different nose radar, sensors above the canopy, B pillar sensors, etc., etc.). Thoughts?

strikeeagle801 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) It's a Mike Gino. Apparently the M's are kind of a "mish-mash" of Lima's and Kilos. They seem to kind of have the best of both worlds. According to what I can find, all K/L's are going to be upgraded to M's...There are not going to be any "new" K's. This is one of the first MH-60M's with all of the features you talked about And here is a head-on image of the helo from the video.

HeavyArty Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Good to know. It makes sense to have one common bird with the same capabilities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Surprised that the helo can even go through the air with all those lumps and bumps! Would love to see Black Ops work their state of the art resin magic and release a conversion kit for this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
