Bell D188A ingenuity and inspiration from the past.
RetroMechanix is continuing its series on the D188a.
I marvel at the imagination and ingenuity of those that came before. Not only did they dream, but they designed machines that were truly ahead of their time.
Awesome. More at RetroMechanix.

31st MEU's Snipers and PSD's doin' it!
Marine Air getting it done...
Marine Air.
As much as I slam the "fly guys" of the Corps, one thing is certain. They're Marines...and they're getting the job done.
One of the untold stories of the conflicts that we're involved in that will only come out in Marine history journals is the work done with regards to the Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel (TRAP) Missions that these Marines have performed.
Helo-borne assault.
Close air support.
Tactical resupply.
Medivac.
TRAP missions.
Special Ops work.
The list goes on. I hammer the wing like a big brother hammers a little brother. Its done with love, its probably unfair and its fun for the big brother and annoys the hell outta the little one.
Well consider this post the "apology" to the wing.
You guys are doing good work.
Stay safe and Semper Fi.

I would be curious to know how many millions of dollars have been saved because these Marines were able to recover downed aircraft instead of destroying them in place.
