The weather outside is getting bad and I need something to do as long as I can't fly my helis. I'm going to build this fuselage for a Sikorsky s-61 Seaking[^].

The parts are made of PET, just like a cola bottle. The kit is going to look similar to this.[^]. The rest is a lot of real model building and paying attention to detail. Lots of fun. If I can produce something that can be shown in public, I'm going to get another T-Rex 450 and install it in this body.

Of course I want it to resemble an existing helicopter. I chose Old 66 from the USS Hornet[^]. The helicopter on display is not the original. It sank after an emergency landing near San Diego.

I bet, most of you have seen Old 66 at work, like here in 1969.[^]

Old 66 was responsible for the recovery of five Apollos, including Apollo 8, Apollo 11 and Apollo 13. If only DD was here to tell me who was in those capsules. Smile | :)
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
