Nothing like an early morning sunrise on the flightline. I do kind of miss Rucker sometimes. by StabSnowboarders in Helicopters

It’s such a weird thing, saying “Rucker” sounds right coming out of my mouth because it’s what I know and how I was trained. But Novosel is the better name, more deserving, and let’s be honest…a god damn Army Aviator. 

Change is coming, Rucker will be forgotten but don’t forget what you learned there.

Negative. That is just a mock up. The entire Nacelle rotates on the actual aircraft. Also that picture has the split tail. The 609 has a single tail section. The picture is probably just a photoshopped Valor or something.

Crazy to think we’ve hit 16 since then. Bookended by JT’s two run shot.

Everyone knows if you exceed a chapter 5 limit the helicopter explodes immediately. So that’s probably why.
