My search continues and so far I found this model kit and AI references that it found on the net but no real photos yet: And AI claims there were ones from HS-8 and HC-1 but no actual photos are shown. On 7/1/2026 7:10 AM, Marc Liebman wrote:

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? _______________________________________________ Helobubbas mailing list -- helobubbas@helobubbas.com To unsubscribe send an email to helobubbas-leave@helobubbas.com
