Webmaster, You got 5 right. Now, how about the other 3? By the way, the one's you got are 1,2,3,4,and 7.

 

[HighlandSniper58]

Hawg= Huey Hawg, UH-1 Helicopter

Dustie= Dustoff - Medivac helicopter

Highland Sniper, you got the Dustie right. The Hawg partially right. More specifically, the Hawg was the armed version of the Huey(rockets, minigun,etc.)

Sorry all, but I tried to put in a BBcode tag so a pic could be displayed but it didn't work.

Webmaster if you can,please delete both of the above posts.

Ahhh...........I was getting confused. I knew the troopcarrier version of the Huey was the Slick and I thought the gunship was a Snake, thought that Hawg was perhaps a generic term for the Huey.

Should have known better though seeing as How the A-10 is now also known as the Hawg albeit abbreviated from Warthog.

I love the quiz section on this board - better start thinking up some questions again.

Since nobody wants to try "Boonie rag", I'll make it simple. It's the floppy jungle hat worn. :lol:

Highland Sniper, the true short term for the A-10 is "Hog" not Hawg. Hawg is strictly for the armed Huey. :| :idea:

By the way, Sniper. "Snake" is the nickname for the Huey Cobra gunship. :idea:

Hi Rob,
There are two answers to your question.
1) Mainland Britain is Culloden. (Scot against Scot).
2) All of Britain is Jersey. (Scot against French).

Be patient. My machine is a little slow right now. I'm using a loner while mine is in the shop.

 

[Derrick Stephenson]

Sorry Eagledriver, not talking about you. A quiz question appeared, then disappeared on to the Quiz Forum proper. Probably Himself indulging too much behind the bar.

My apologies, guys. I can't seem to post a pic here, so go to galleries and you'll find 2 pictures of the Snake that i've posted there. :lol:

Guys, I've got one more for you. I was just thinking about this the other day.

Huey "Hawg"-Huey "Helicopter Armed With Guns."

Some coincidence! Just something I thought up. No real connection, but a pause for thought.
