Then they ain't nothing like the old T-2, A-4, S-3 sim or ANY modern sim I have flown in the airline biz. They were/are all very much platform specific. Am I not understanding what you mean?

I see what you did there ?
No, you are. The newer helo sims can convert from model to model relatively easily.

Those things were old when I was there in the late 80’s!
Found it in my logbook. 22.8 hours!
That's about what I have in the new 60M simulator in the last three months.
I was 2.
@RobLyman a lot of '60's flying in today for Heli Expo in HotLanta. This one bird caught my eye - what model do you think it is? FMS bird? Crew all wearing polo shirts, kahkis and headsets...
@scoolbubba I was commissioned out of NROTC Boston University on May 17. 1986, wings out of HT-18 in March, 1988. I'm 54 years old.
You’re still only 2 feet tall.
60L I would guess. Stabilator and rotor blades definitely aren't 60M. That's something odd going on at the MLG strut.
Cable cutters?
Those are definitely wire strike protection. I was talking about above the MLG. Looks like maybe an APR-39 antenna blended into the strut fairing, with something angling forward and down. Looking at it closer and comparing it to our aircraft, it looks similar, but maybe the paint color as well as a slightly different mold makes the fairing look weird.
