The Cool Cobra

Looks like an AH-1G early model with the "double-barrel" chin turret (7.62 minigun and 40 MM "chunker" automatic grenade launcher).
When I worked at GE in '69-'70, production on that turret was just about shut down. We were cranking out the 3-barrel 20 MM for the J.
Saw a hair-raising Nap-Of-the-Earth demo of that J chopper up at our test range by a cocky just-back-from-Nam pilot who had a lot of high ranking brass hugging mother earth! Chest cabbage and fruit salad with "Essence du Mud Vinagraite" dressing.
Cheers,
Wes
