Thanks all for your looking at the photos and art work, Aaron, I'm not too crazy for him either, although I do like some of his movies and it is a sweet plane. From what I have read she was originally named "Montana Miss", he renamed it "Kiss Me Kate" for his wife. Eric the pilot was Matt Jackson and observer was Randy Hepner.
Reference the chopper, I remember loading, fueling and arming hundreds of UH-34s in Vietnam, it is a fantastic helicopter and my favorite, which you rarely see anymore, people are more into the Huey. This chopper was a work horse for the Marines in 67.
