    Description

    Fort Rucker is a U.S. Army post located primarily in Dale County, Alabama, United States. The U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence is the dominant military facility at Fort Rucker. Training, doctrine, and testing are all key parts of the center's mission to develop Army Aviation's capabilities. All Army Aviation training has been undertaken at Fort Rucker since 1973, as well as training of US Air Force and ally helicopter pilots and air crew. The 110th Aviation Brigade consists of four battalions operating out of four heliports, one airfield, a local regional airport and numerous staging fields in the area. 1st Battalion, 11th Aviation Regiment, operates and manages air traffic control services for USAACE/Fort Rucker and the National Airspace System. 1st Battalion, 13th Aviation Regiment trains future US Army Air Traffic Controllers and Aviation Operations Specialists. 1st Battalion, 14th Aviation Regiment operates from Hanchey Army Heliport and trains using the AH-64E Apache Longbow helicopters. 1st Battalion, 212th Aviation Regiment operates from Lowe Army Heliport and Shell Army Heliport and conducts training using the UH-60 helicopters. 1st Battalion, 223d Aviation Regiment operates from Cairns Army Airfield and Shell Army Heliport flying the Airbus (Eurocopter) UH-72 Lakota for introductory helicopter pilot training, and Knox Army Heliport for training pilots who fly the CH-47 Chinook helicopter. Fixed wing pilots are trained on Grob G120TP and King Air Series airplanes at nearby Dothan Regional Airport. In the recent past Nonstandard rotary wing training with MI-17 helicopters has taken place on Fort Rucker. The very last T-67 Creek trainer helicopters can still be spotted around the area as they begin the final phase of removal from the Army training system.

    I like it! The only thing I wonder is if the static helicopters with the white windows could be improved, even if that just meant changing the white to black, I think would be a lot less distracting. Either way thanks alot!
