“I think it is diong an Apache rain dance.”

Glad everyone’s enjoying this one.
I’m not sure the exact circumstances of how this particular bird came to be this way, but the aircraft is from the “Taz Devils” of A Company, 1-501st Avn, 1st Armored Division, and that shot was taken in Iraq during OIF II, shortly after the division arrived there. The 501st’s A models have all been handed off to other units and they are now undergoing Longbow transition at Ft. Hood.
