I'll have one in my next childhood. No problems....
No, seriously though, that is one very nice bird, it looks amazing, and I hope it flys that way too.

OK, if this was ever about one upsmanship.....You win! Amazing restore! Truly a great looking ( and sounding ) gunship. I hope you fly her in good health!!
I want one! but even before I clicked on the link my wife said NO!. Dang women just don't understand sometimes. Heck of a yard ornament. Rednecks have the concrete deer, we MV people have deuces, 5 tons, and choppers littering the lawn.

Never seen a flying labrador, post pics when they do, I bet they like it almost as much as swimming...

Awesome job! There was a guy locally that restored a OH58 and was planning on doing whatever he wanted with it.
After spending probably hundreds of thousands of dollars, he found out he could only fly it with special permits to and from special events. A friend of mine flew it for him when he brought to The traveling wall here a few years ago.

Wow. That's an amazing piece of work. Thanks for the pics and video. I sure wish I'd win the lottery. That would be awesome parked next to my deuce at the RV storage lot. Lol.

Thanks Guys,
As they say , its been a labor of love!..Its really cool after 2 years hearing those rotor blades beating the air! I swore I was not going to sell it until i got it running. So maybe next will be a harrier Jet!...I wish!....
Got alot of very cool photos...
Kevin...
