Sure, helicopters are just preposterous... but where would the US Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard be without them? The NMNA has many superb egg-beaters on display; I'll let the experts identify them. Grin

Too easy, Sean.

1: UH-25
2: Hiller Raven
3: Chickasaw
4: Huey
5: Dragonfly (my favorite helo of the Korean War)
6: Sea Cobra.

I'm pretty good when it comes to pretty much any facet of naval aviation. Maybe I'll keep my mouth shut for the next set... Wink

Nice. I swear we have another #3 shot in what was the bristol industrial museum.
