    Geeky The All Things Aviation Thread

    commercial, private, experimental, military, space...all things that fly

    lots of material to post, and I hope my fellow basement aviation geeks will contribute too. All are welcome.

    because some of the pics might be a bit large, I'm going to post with thumbs.

    I'll start off with a few pics of the RAH-66 Comanche helicopter

    and for those who might wonder where it's rear land gear has gone...it didn't have any per say. It had a pair of landing skids which only deployed seconds before landing
