Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Helicopter crew question

[Clarence Romero Jr. (clyderomerof4]

All attack helicopters are tandem 

Pilot in the back with the gunner up front

By doing this you provide the same field of view for both and have a small cross section for taking fire 

Believe it or not the AH-1G cobra which was used in Vietnam had a cross section of

36inches where the crew sat!

     RF4-4EVR

Scars are Tattoos with better stories !

If you have no enemies, you have no character !
