A load of Cobras
United States Army Bell AH-1F Cobra 'Gunships' of the Texas National Guard tied and tethered out on the ramp on a damp and dull Austin day back in November of 1998
There were 21 x AH-1's there that day - five of which were being robbed for spares along with 5 x OH-58 Kiowa's, 6 x UH-60 Blackhawk's and a C-23 Sherpa!
Back then I'd simply chanced upon this unit, proferred my passport and asked nicely at the reception desk if I could have a look around. One of their very hospitable officers very kindly obliged and chaperoned me around the flight line.
Imagine that happening now!
