Description
An United States Army Iroquois helicopter, also known as a Huey, preparing to take off. Note the 70mm rockets and the General Electric M134 6.62mm mini gun mounted on the side. This helicopter proabably belongs to the 135th Aviation Company of the United States Army, which was a combined US Army and Royal Australian Navy unit. Due to its integrated nature the unit was designated an `experimental military unit' hence the nickname `Emu's'.
