    the next project

    Well folks, here's the next non-woodworking project I'll be under taking (just so you know, the is a wood working project in process-stay tuned!).

    You ex-navy and marine types will probably recogonize this beauty as a Sea King, for the rest of you, trust me, it's a Sea King! I've got about 6-10 months work ahead of once I get all the "goodies" I'll need to complete it.

    When finished, it will have a 5 blade main rotor, 5 blade tail rotor, retractable landing gear, nav/anti-collision lights, panel lines and rivet lines. I still haven't settled on a paint scheme yet, but Marine One (president's helo) is near the top of the list along with a Navy SAR bird and a USCG SAR bird.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

          A fitting tribute to a real workhorse of a machine...
