Went to Castle AFB Museum’s open cockpit day, together with a friend photographed three new helicpters:

Vladimir,
Those are some very thorough walkarounds. Thanks!
Ray
Those are beautiful images. Thanks very much for sharing.
BTW, I’m not 100% sure the Q is actually a Q model, because I’m old and have started merging many of my facts between aircraft together. My reasons are, 1: I don’t beleive we were mounting the APR-39s at the time of the Q model, 2: It looks like this aircraft has the NVG filters on some of the caution lights and I know we were not really flying much NVG at the time of the Q and finally 3: I thought the Torque gauge was still using 50 lbs of torgue as max and this one seems to have a 100% torque limitation. I remember the mod-S had torque pounds and I believe we switched to torque percent on the Production model’s and ECAS birds. None of what I said means anything being it is a museum aircraft they could be putting all kinds of wrong parts in the display and two, I could just have my facts messed up.
Anyway, great images and thank for sharing again.
