Iditarod Kid Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 David Douglas Duncan, one of the premier photojournalists of all time, made a series of photos (napalm drop) from a rig like that. I would suggest that he his were constructed of solid brass! It would be an interesting flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I made the "ride" in a litter strapped on skids of a Bell H-13 "Sioux". It was like being in a pup-tent in a hurricane. Probably didn't have the noise that the 38 would have. Lafitte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
