Military AI Works

Where are you seeing that AI can drop objects?

Haven't ever seen this scheme before but looks like the US Navy is using it as an Aggressor MH-60. Photo is from NAS Fallon from last month so maybe it's a fairly new scheme.

Good luck to the painters!

They have replaced the SH-60F originally used, should be some pics on the inter-webs, I actually did some training in the sinister "Black 70" version.

From closest to the camera, California, New York, Nevada and Oregon. If anyone can find a serial number for the FL ARNG bird that received the modifications, I'll add it too.

Are there any flightplans for these cool helicopters?

I'm slowly working on the firehawks. I'm trying to simulate helitanker ops as best I can using a simulated dip site and real fire locations. FS doesn't allow nearly as many dips as you'd get in real life though.

Thank you John Young for these awesome models.

Here are my first shots painting them

Those are great.

Dear John
It is always thanks to the good work.
Recently, in many countries in the wings of the figure below.
Adding very nice.
Make efforts.

It's a configuration I had thought about and in hindsight, I probably should have included it. I don't want to do it at the moment because I'm trying desperately to get stuff out that's been sitting finished on my hard drive for a while waiting for components from other people. Once I've shifted the backlog, I'll start new models again and I'll certainly consider adding the gull-wing Black Hawk.

I just need to ask Click if this one would be useful and which model should form the basis of it in order to keep the texture mapping consistent with any of his paints that he might want to use with it.

The South Korean Army, Navy and JGSDF have those style wings on L model exhaust aircraft. The JASDF and JMSDF have them on A model exhaust.

And to make it more fun, everyone but the South Korean Army run those models with a winch.

The system also flew on US MH-60K, but I don't know if it's forward compatible with the MH-60Ms.

And yes, I will do JASDF SAR V3 if you decide to revisit the wings sometime in the future.

Any chance to see this masterpiece in the color of Israeli Armed Force?

I'd say there's a better than fair chance that something along those lines might be in the works...

That's OK Click. I'll do the high wing "L" first. Adding the parts to the "A" should be quite easy, having made them.

There's just some B-24s and B-26s and associated scenery standing in the way at the moment that I need to finish first.

Any chance you could also paint the SAR birds from NAS Whidbey Island. I am working on them slowly but your SAR repaint is much further along (and better) than mine.


Thanks
Gavin

Thank you Gavin for your kind words.
I am definitely planning to paint the Whidbey Island SAR birds, already collected reference material.
Do not expect it too soon as I will be on the road for a few days due to work.

Soon in your skies...

thank you Giorgio and to all those involved
