Yep. And why not all the existing choppers (Hueys, S-76 and the MG520s)? We would not be limiting our night capability to the planned purchase of the 6 NCAH.

Is the planned 6 NCAH MG-530 supposedly like this?

IF we get those choppers we really like, hopefully, our luckiest pilots will never try this out:

Gunship? This is a gunship

I wonder if it has the same set-up on the other wing? 3 on each wing plus one on the nose? :wow:

The PAF acquired night flying capability in the 90's.

The NVG-equipped pilot in the photo flies one of several suitably modified Hueys. As aircraft pros on the forum pointed out, all that would be required to make an aircraft NVG capable is modified lighting.
