In that list, I did not find the SN for her history.......did they list her RVN history........I only have her in the 117th AVN from 73 to 75.

Just from looking at it I would have to say it is not a "S" model, the fully modernized S's have flat plate canopies and a 20mm chain gun, instead of the mini gun and chunker(40mm grenade launcher). It looks like a "G", but could be an ECAS, Enhanced Cobra Armament System if it has the old canopy, TOW missle system and steam powered guages.

Thanks for all the info guys. I think in the near future I might have to start drumming up some support from the local vets groups to look at getting her repainted properly.

If anybody else is able to find out more info on this particualr bird please feel free to pass it along...I'd greatly appreciate it!

I've always been fond of the AH-1 Cobra...this pic was taken of me sitting in a Cobra hulk during a field training exercise at Fort Benning, GA in 1988 while I was in basic training. As you can see there wasn't much left. :cry:

I had the list of her Vietnam units that she served with but no one posted if the other link had her Total history, I could not find the A/C. I am in TN now for 8 days. If you still want it, you will need to wait until i get home.
