400 THS family day
Had a pilot who liked a little fun, I think! If it's hard to see in the video, we were nearly 90 degrees over a few times, clawing through the air. Thanks again!

You said 400, so I take it this is at Borden. We went for a flight in Gagetown, and I thought that's where this was first. It's always so overcast in Oromocto. We were fortunate to be able to fly with the doors open. It was a good run, and the rotor wash kept us pretty tight to our seats!
Nose mount a FLIR pod (instead of side pylon) equip the side mounts with 2.75" Zuni Pods, slap some armoured floor panels with kevlar interior and seats and bingo, instant Close Support/Escort helicopter. The USMC does it with the UH-1N which is a Twin Huey, much lesser powered than the CH-146 4 bladed Griffs
this would be cheap to convert a handful of them
Theres no armor in the on this one ... can't tell who the pilots are by the back of there heads but looked like a good flight
