Four ACH-47A's were produced....named "Easy Money, Stump Jumper, Birth Control, and Cost of Living". Easy Money is the sole survivor...the other three were lost in combat operations in Vietnam.
Armament consisted of five .50 Caliber Browning M-2's MG's, two 20mm cannon, 2.75 inch Rockets, and a 40mm Grenade Launcher.

Hope you enjoy these as much as i did taking them. Just got a new camera and it is proving harder to get my teeth into. It is a Fuji 9500 Digital SLR. These pictures were taken at 9 Megapixel, but resized for this thread.
