(b) Me too - I'm one of the few people that's seen it fly.


Saw it fly once on the "Discovery Channel" show "American Choppers" where the
team was making a motorcycle
to look like the Comanche.
Very cool looking ship.
Damn shame with all those jobs lost also.
And I thought I'd get a chance to see one or two buzzing around NYC on a test
flight
out of Ct.
I guess after The Hulk did a number on them in the Midwest the writing was on
the wall. :O)

For those that missed it the last time I posted the URL to the
newsgroup, I've got a 4.5 minute video of the Comanche flyinng around
at the Sikorsky facility stored at the URL above. I smile every time I
watch that video and hear that unique sound signature of the Comanche
in the high-speed flyover. Enjoy.
