I posted a challenge on Facebook and someone found this one.  Another guy said there had been a spectacular one done with a H-46.  

May be an image of helicopter and text that says 'NAVW PIDING EX= NAVY BICENTENNIAL BICENT COMMAND COMMAN'

Ok folks..  Was there one, did it exist, does anyone have any photos if 
it did?  I am looking to see if any Naval Helicopters were painted up 
during 1976 for the Bicentennial and if anyone has photos of it.  I have 
scrounged the internet and found pretty much everything else from T-2 
Buckeye's to F-8 Crusaders, Tomcats and lots of Phantoms in celebratory 
paint.  I don't have any as I was only 8 years old at the time but maybe 
with the significance of this week someone might remember one being done 
or a H-2 or 46.  I remember what a big deal the bicentennial was.  Maybe 
one of you archive searchers can find some?
