Anyone know who flew into Marblehead Mass?

[helolumpy]

My brother took these and was asking if I know anyone involved.
Anyone here involved or know what squadrons were involved?

Thanks,

That's right up the road, How recent are these?

Saw nothing about it on the news, A gaggle like that would have attracted some attention.

I don't know who it was flying, but it was in Marblehead last weekend. They were celebrating the 100th anniversary of Marine Corps aviation, which began in Marblehead, MA. They flew in on Friday mid-day. I believe there waas an Osprey around as well, but don't know.

Here's a link to the event (even though its over):

K-Bay that's Marine Air as I remember it, getting the job done. I'm bummed that I missed this I drove out to Westover for the airshow on Sat.

You've got two of those monstor rotors. Just put in a little right wing down trim and you should be fine.... right?

Just like nose down trim works on a Phrog when you lose the aft rotor??

Pretty sure that don't work, but big brass balls do...

We used to do EP sim hops for the Canucks when I was a Phrog RAG instructor. I was always impressed by their optimism with their Synch Shaft Failure EP (the shaft running down the center tunnel that turned the front XMSN from the aft XMSN and engines and kept the front bits from bumping into the aft bits). I heard we had such an EP in the '70's, but never saw it myself.

The fact that it's the only emergency in the Phrog for which there is no EP should tell you something.

Edit: What happens when a synch shaft becomes de-synched: Chinook 74-22292 crash

Proving the old adage to never fly an aircraft that could have a midair with itself!

Eh, I'll take my chances in the aircraft that's been flying for nearly half a century, thank you very much.
