Hint: Turboprop, Cierva, Sand Creek (as easy as it gets)

too literally, not Cierva's construction. besides- it's not even turbine based aircraft (turboprop)

[z740]

can we have another hint for those of us who weren't born before 1980.

the last hint was a dead give-away, giving another is just too easy....

[z740]

o.k. one last question, what is Sand Creek?

-Chris

[ItsMeOnly]

the very important place- very connected to the name of the craft.

[z740]

Wittman Tailwind? i am completely clueless.

-Chris

[maverick55]

AH-56 cheyenne.

[z740]

that's a CH-46 for military and a S-64 for civilian. no that's not my answer. i'm sticking with the Wittman Tailwind.

No your thinking of a completely different bird. Its definetly the Cheyenne. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AH-56_Cheyenne

oh, o.k. i thought you were talking about the SkyCrane. i have never heard of the Cheyenne. my bad.

AH-56 cheyenne.

obviously that's the right answer , "Sand Creek" was dead giveaway- as historically that's a very important place for the Cheyenne tribe (there was pretty much media coverage about this place recently, too).

Sand Creek definetly gave it away. Took me a while to make the link though, kept skipping over it when I was Googling.

Anyway here we go

[z740]

military or civilian?
