Picked up a few vehicles for my aviation detachment!

I attended a toy show this past weekend and despite making a thorough list of what I was looking for, managed to get nothing on it! I did get a few nice pieces, though.

I've been looking for a decent helicopter for some time; and managed to find this one at a nice price.




It came with a nice MOA as the pilot:


I also picked up this Air Force Empire jeep. It's missing the steering wheel and trailer; but it will make a nice project.





The top of my display case now serves as a helipad;





while the jeep has been temporarily assigned this driver:

Chip,

It was made by the Carolina Toy Company in the 1970s; although the company is better known as Empire Toys; and the vehicle is usually called the Empire Jeep. They made several different versions. I also have the Army version:

My Air Force jeep now has a steering wheel!
