Its rotary wing, that would be Army territory.. USAF has predominantly fixed wing aircraft whereas the Army has only rotary wings.. The one button interface also points to US Army usage, USAF members can use more than one button at a time for control.. :)
14 inch rusted Keystones, tired leaking 302, poorly applied custom landau top, wally world special audio system. It could always be worse, it could be a yugo!
The USAF gave the Sherpa to the Army, since if you fill it with gas and put all three crew members in, it wont get off the ground.. the ACL is too low.. :) We had them in Germany back in 88-92 to move MICAP around between the bases..
Besides the Sherpa isnt really an airplane, its an overweight ultralight..
Have I mentioned my younger brother is an Army UH60 pilot? I swear he is the smartest man in the Army!

Google is nice sometimes but there are some mistakes. USAF does not own any attack helos, and one of the pics is from the CZECK AF. Also 99% of AF helos belong to the operators. Yes the AF does have helicopters, about as many as the ARMY has fixed winged acft. Somebody has to teach the ARMY how to fly

ahh I remember this game. Last year in highschool whenever we went to the computer lab for a project EVERYBODY was playing this game. It eventually was blocked but it was addicting!
Kinda the reason I put it hear. It's a game, who cares if it AF or not.
True but the way it was worded made it sound like that inter service rivalry we have going.. We have a few USAF people here, and we are always eager to play the USAF vs whoever game.. :)
Nothin personal, the GF loves that game, she plays it for neopets.. lol.
No harm no foul... just as long as we don't bash our friends with the funny little hats (it's just too easy!)

Whats with the little brimless hats anyway? Are they trying to be elite like Paratroopers or perhaps SF? Oh wait the SP's have little black brimless hats too.. nevermind.. :)
Anyone wanna know about Cargo aircraft? Yay trash haulers for the win!
Yea, they use the hueys a lot at VAFB and at the missile bases up North, i.e. Minot, ND, Malmstrom, MT, and F.E. Warren, Wyoming. Sometimes when the weather is bad we hitch a ride out to the missile fields up here.
They're trying to come up with a "joint" replacement, but thats going to take some time.

I'm a little late in the thread, but don't forget that the Marines have helos as well, including MX-1 (the POTUS puddle jumper). We see it (three of 'em, really) quite often in the DC area.
