Chubba Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Now I know why the Dogma is so expensive!It's good to be the boss!
Big H* Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 I stand under correction. The Alouette II was mainly used by the SAPS and the Army used the Alouette III See the scale turbine RC model flying here on Youtube, it even sounds like the real one
Thug Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Have to agree that the Helicopter is an Alouette and probably made in 1967
DJR Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Oh, the sound those Alu's made is coming back to me, like a lot of loose things being swirled around at high speed, just before it all flies apart into different directions. Now the nausea and the fear is also starting to surface. Sorry, I'm getting out of here.

The only things that flew apart was from hits with the 20mm mounted in the III, and yes the effect was nauseating!
nolipoli Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 My old man still flies one of these, in original french army colours, including orange day-glo stickers. It's a real piece of history - feels kind of industrial, like a Harvard.

kosmonooit Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Just read a book by a fellow high school rebel Granger Korf "19 with a bullet" one of the final scenes he describes is when they (the Bats) go follow up a contact on the ground after the fleeing 'terrs' have got the attention of the above 20mm what meets him is a whole Bushmen family that has been slaughtered by those high explosive rounds - hectic!
ASG Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 Still looking for the correct answer - there has been some close calls. Ftech jersey or heli-ride up for grabs... Regards ag
Big H* Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 'ASG helicopter piloted by ASG boss' at Nissan race presented by ASG Reply with the model name of this famous helicopter and guess the year it was made...-- first correct answer wins a trip over Pta in the chopper or a ftech jersey worth R800!!! The yellow and red tail rotor blades and yellow rotor guard reminds me of an IDF (Israel Defense Force) Aluette II that was used between 1957 up to the Yom Kippor war. It does not have the shroud between the tailboom and body though that had the Star of David on it.
DaLoCo Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 If I must commit to a specific manufacturing date for this chopper I would call it at 1969
TNT1 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Why is the "s" in asg in square brackets? As in ag? WTF? Nevermind some ageing chopper.
Big H* Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Maybe a 1974 HAL Cheetah Do not think so. Cheetah and Lama had much higher landing skid supports
