Blue Thunder II Update - John Parker ... We brought Blue back from the Golden West show on Sunday morning so that we could get her in a few shots of a 3D IMAX feature that was being filmed here at the Stead Airport.  The next morning, June 13, I started formation and pylon race course practice, flying once a day for a week. Steve Edmonson was here for the week and he did a great job of finding places on Blue to mount our GoPro Hero camera. We got a lot of footage and Rhonda has edited some of that footage and uploaded it onto You Tube. The links below show some pretty cool stuff.

Daleville’s Heroic Huey — the 325  from Travel for Aircraft | Daleville AL has a Bell UH-1H Huey proudly displayed at the Daleville Cultural and Convention Center — but not an ordinary display.

Any of the foregoing would be admirable but this display is exceptional since it is dedicated to the aircraft itself, the specific Huey that became to be known as “3-2-5″ — in radio-speak, this term would be said as “three-two-five” to be heard clearly at the receiving end of the transmission…
