You can't really modify the image size on this end. For large images, I usually upload them to my photobucket account, resize the image there and then link to the resized image here.

I saw 5 Sea Kings flying overhead, in formation (!!! :o ), while I was in the drive-thru line at the Quinpool McDonald's yesterday. Scared the shit clean out me!
I didn't know that we had 5 that could be in the air at the same time, let alone fly in formation!!
The other day I saw 3 in formation, and THAT was shocking enough!!
Here's a pic of the one that had to make an emergency landing near to my house last year:

Combat helicopters are one of the great anomalies of modern warfare. I understand that a 'copter can move, scoot, twitch, and jink out of harms way using terrain but why has no one developed an anti-rotor-craft missile similar to the Javelin which, when fired, first shoots straight up into the air hundreds or even a thousand feet to then come down on the hovering target from it's most vulnerable angle?
What the heck is that thing? I know it looks very Hind-like.
Mi-35. Export variant of the Hind.
^Ah. Cheers Mirthie :)
The South Africans build a pretty bitchin' modded MiL-24 hotrod called the Superhind. In fact, the pic above might actually be it.

Drones and Apaches in the short term. Lakotas eventually, if the Army procures enough.

Hell, I liked Automan, so there's no accounting for taste.

That and Street Hawk.

The only one of those that I remember is 'Airwolf' - we used to watch that.

There's a two-seat version nicknamed "Alligator."
They have been around for a while now. I think that's the one with the downward firing ejector seat :-)

^I like the mocking tone of that one.
its not mocking anything, thats a Czech AH-1z.
look at the engine cowl.
I mean the Hind. In Czech use.
well they were commies for a minute.
Didn't realize the AH-1z has two engines.
Apaches are awesome and everything but theres just something better about a Cobra's lines.
