this aircraft never made it in the air under its own power, |
| |
the trasmissions were never developed. It sounds like a |
| |
CH-56 Sky Crane. <p>Todd<br>> is this it ?<br>><br>> |

Yesterday, I was driving through a town local to me, and |

<br>><br>> > saw a helicopter.. it had 2 propellers, like a |

*blush*)<br>><br>> ><br>><br>> > it was or appeard to be |

rectangular, and almost boxy i <br>> was <br>><br>> > never |

directly under it and i didnt' really get a good <br>> head |

was <br>><br>> > rectangular and narrow. <br>><br>> |
| |

(think it was the cockpit <br>> i'm <br>><br>> > not |

what i think the cockpit was hung down from the main |

The helicopter almost looked like it could be used or <br>> |

orange/red, the body black, with couple of gold painted |
