You have some interesting aircraft here, my friend. But, I just don't think you could get me in that rattler thing. Just a bit small to me. That Russian Hind was always considered one mean chopper. Heavily armored and a lot of armament on it. The old Sabre was considered quite a plane in it's day. The Nimrod was well known around NATO as a very competent aircraft. Good planes and choppers my friend. Love it. Keep up the good work!
