Yes please. This has always been the poster boy of badass helicopters in my opinion.

In terms of utility-focused helicopters, there is nothing I would like to see more than a Super Stallion in DCS. Would definitely like to get some pictures of their work that aren't covered up by Bugs Bunny some point soon.

...and something that looks like a gladius blade across the screen behind him. What is that supposed to be?

Yeah, Super Stallion. We need something that could really carry the things we pretend the UH-1 can carry. Maybe some daring mock Pave Low stuff, too!



I'd look into obtaining, certainly

Holy hell. They did not land that Chinook very far from that structure there.. lol

Pave Low would be an awesome addition too. Or Pave Hawk. Or Osprey. Razbam and the other 3rd parties can basically do this for the rest of their lives with all the modules they could make.

I rode around and worked with 53's a lot during my time in the sand box. I always enjoyed them, much better than a CH-46, and much much better than a H-60. Personally, the Blackhawk always made me airsick; she and I never ever got along. I was always in awe of the 53s, I'll have to dig out my pics one day and find some good ones.

I did meet a Pavelow one night. I was supporting a joint SOF mission in a place that is much more popular in the news now. Basically kids in Damascus would ride down, cross the boarder at night, shoot at Americans, and then go home to brag to their friends that they were billy bad-asses. So we set up an AO that controlled all the access points in and out of our area. One night I get a call that we have a bird in bound, our runway was a two lane road that we would stretch concertina wire across both ends, with no other info than 5 mikes out. We had all types of SOFs there so that was normal.

Bird comes in, NVGs on, and it was a Pavelow...cool, this was the first time we got an Air Force bird. Then this knuckle head pilot hovers on the road, and flips a 180 facing the wrong direction. Wrong cause every bird in and out of the FARP got fuel/ammo/de-embarked and all on onside of the runway. I run up to the exiting crew chief to see what they needed - and was met by two guys that had beards that said "don't fuck with us POG" without saying anything to me. About that time, mind you they've been on the deck for less than a minute now, a blacked out Honda Prelude drives up, right up the ramp, and into the back of this thing. Crew chief was already looping up his mike cable and follows the two SF guys up the ramp, ramp closes, and off into the wild dark yonder. I get the same grin on my face that I did that night when I think back to the badassery of those guys.

Anyway - wouldn't make you read through all that without something as a parting gift. Here's some history and facts from Sik on the 65/53:

POG = Person Other than Grunt; non-infantry personnel in the military. All us support elements lol..
