Helicopter Museum outside of Dothan, AL.

Entering into
The Army Avation Museum.



Some helicopter





Dad inside a big, long, helicopter






VJ. You can tell this is big, just by looking!






They had some pretty nice pictures upstairs





all painted, too!



In a little cut-off cockpit




One helicopter that looked like the 'copters that brought wounded soldiers.
Do you see that side piece that has the red-white-& blue star
on it? Underneath, that is where the would lay you when they found and brought you home.
Imagine laying in that during the trip home...and being in pain, sore, tired too!


VJ was very impressed with this, and asked to be held
to see it multiple times. The mud isn't real.


If you thought the other picture of laying on the side
during the trip home, this is worse! You might have
been the target for the enemy! Only your head was covered,
you were strapped in, and your body was visible, covered in
a blanket!

We do have a full picture of the whole scene for that picture right above, but I will post that later.
