| The misnomer in that pic is the airframe cannot carry all that in one mission. In High Hot conditions the loadout is vastly diminished. I tried to calculate a MAX loadout on a AH 1 S with just 2.75 rockets and weighed out before I cubed out on the aircraft. 2/9 Cav Fort Stewart GA. God bless you Denny, Wherever you are. |

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 |
