jeb Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Not that kind, this kind. Quillback and I were on Swepco today and I heard what I thought was a chopper going over. Finally looked up and saw one of these going by. Very cool! I'd never seen one in person before. John B 08 Skeeter SL210, 225F Yamaha
J-Doc Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 That's cool. I've never seen one either. Must have been from Ft. Smith? I saw a Chinoook fly over Rogers a few weeks ago. Been a while since I have send one. Usually just Blackhawks these days. Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message. He will treat you like family!!! I owe fishinwrench a lot of thanks. He has been a great mechanic with lots of patience!
Stump bumper Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 That would be a Marine bird not Army or Air Force so probably down from Joplin way instead of Fort Smith. The Air Force uses Fayetteville Air Strip for training since it's short runway and close mountains are so close to Afaganstain type terrain, would make since the Marines are starting to use that route too. Several Marine Reserve units between Joplin and KC. Just guessing I do drive by the Airport everyday and like seeing those C130s at tree top level, takes me back a few years.
jeb Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 Yes, they are Marine birds, which we commented on when we saw it. I have no clue where it may have been out of or going to. Just cool to see one. They don't have a great record though. I don't think I'd want a ride on one as they fall out of the sky too often for my tastes. John B 08 Skeeter SL210, 225F Yamaha
