	Incorrect but almost it is a UH-1H Iroquois Huey Slick I don't know abou the rest of you but I realized the picture questions are easy since you can right click and find the host site to easily come up with the answer ------------------- And remember on a scale from one to awsome, I'm super great.

	...I never thought about doing that. I always did a google search. But that one was kinda easy in the basic form. That picture is extremely common. Maybe a slight extension on that might be nice... How did the UH-1 get the nickname "Huey"?

	Here's two for you experts. Easy question: An A-10 pilot can only fire the 30mm cannon for brief moments at a time. One reason is to conserve ammo, what is the other? Harder question: During testing, what was the estimated G forces at the tips of the vertical stabs of the YF-22? ------------------- "I find your lack of faith disturbing."

I'm going to take a guess and say it's because the gun barrel will overheat. Or maybe the recoil of the gun slows down the aircraft? ------------------- http://snipshot.com/

	quote The Tank Or maybe the recoil of the gun slows down the aircraft? That's correct. The recoil of the gun, if fired too long, can actually slow down the aircraft enough to make it unstable to fly. And at low altitudes where the A-10 operates, this could be deadly. So usually the pilot will attack from a downward angle and hold the trigger for about 100 yards or so. ------------------- "I find your lack of faith disturbing."

	[Quote]I think Mechanicore is right. 'Huey' comes from 'UH-1'.[/Quote] Actually it was named that while the designation system for the helicopter was "HU." Therefore, the then HU-1 adapted the nickname HUey. That's why I said "close, but incorrect." It was on the right track, though

	Because it was the first to follow the semi-tradition of naming all land-based helicopters after Native American tribes?
