Pictures are on the way. Actually, there is only one of the Cobra's that doesn't fly. The other two are flyable. One flys pretty regular and the other has flown a few times. We had a few hard to find parts that we had to share between helicopters and were only able to fly one at a time. A few weeks ago, the extra spare parts arrived. She will be painted and flying, hopefully within the next few weeks. Two in formation will look really cool. The Huey is more fun, but the Cobra is air conditioned. The third Cobra is purely a static display, on loan from the Army. It is missing the engine and transmission, but is pretty complete otherwise. I'll also mention that the Washington Department of Natural Resources recieved four or five Cobras before I moved away. They will eventually be used for firefighting. When everything gets flying at the same time, the Olympia Airport will look like Ft. Rucker did in the past.
