Great pics! Thanks for sharing those!

You're welcome guys. Lots of neat stuff there. They change aircraft every so often. Most of them are loaned to the museum. I've been there several times.

And . . . .

I have a number of hours in these which was a decommissioned OH-6. (Civilian Hughes 369, 500.)

My run-ins with these were the AH-6 and MH-6 versions. Incredible little aircraft.

You're welcome fellas. I gotta get me one of them Cobras. But they wont sell one to me. I wasn't in the military, but I have many hours as a PIC (pilot in command) in the Bell 47, OH-6 (Hughes 369, 500 now MD 500), Bell 206 Jet Ranger (military called a Kiowa), and Robinson R-44. I gotta tip my hat to you guys that were in the military. All my civilian flight hours I was never shot at, or in a combat situation. Except that one a**hole that shot bottle rockets at me after doing rides at a fair.

Thanks for sharing. I never get tired of planes and helicopters. As a kid, my Grandpa lived just outside of Fort Rucker. I would sit outside all day and watch Cobras, Hueys and Chinook (for us military folks, shithooks) fly over.

During my first marriage I lived just south of Fort Indiantown Gap, and many, many CH47's (Chinooks) would fly over us. When the Cobra's would fly over, which was rare, the sound was very distinct, and made me run out of the house and look up. Being a civilian pilot, I never got to fly the Cobra's, Chinook's, or the Blackhawk's.

Doing trail work this week on a trail we maintain. This is in the UP of MI. These are hike, bike and ski trails.

Thanks Arlyn - these pictures and the others you post really help show how much work goes into maintaining these year-round trail systems. For the average user, the trails seem to be magically ready for our enjoymnt and it might be easy to take them for granted.

For trail users, even if you’re only using the trails that one time, if passes are required, get that one-day pass online, buy the seasonal or annual pass, or stuff the honesty box appropriately.

If it’s a free—to-use trail system, check online for their volunteer days and lend a hand if you can. Can’t swing an axe, operate a chainsaw, or drive a six-wheeler? Maybe be that person who stops at Dunkin or Tim Hortons and shows up with a big box of coffee or a tray of donuts.

And if you ever see someone like Arlyn working on your local trails, take a few seconds to say thanks and tell them how much you really enjoy the trails.

I guess you didn't bring one over this time. The on top of 6x6 bed and reaching up kind of catches my eye

(I know the feeling, went to cut the natural hedges around horse fence as those were hitting the electric wire. Forgot to bring the hedge trimmer along and had to do whole fence with chainsaw, cutters and "vesuri" (kind of machete))

We do trail clearing professionally. 15 years ago we'd go into the field and try doing all jobs in one trip. No longer, because we found that quality, really suffered. Today we concentrate on just one job and come back to do another later.
