I think I have a OH-236 Raven my tail has ribs running down like this one, here is a pic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:OH-23_inflight_colour_photo.jpg My new question can anyone find any info on the history of my tail section,  I found an Army Incident Report for helicopter 67-16212
http://www.flyarmy.org/incident/690318031ACD.HTM
   I thought it might be my tailsection, is it  a coincidence that my tail numbers were the same except for the 67 prefix? the tail numbers on my tail is just 16212,  some people I have talked to think it is the same and the 67 is the year of the helicopter But isn't it strange my tail section has no year number?? I found some information some army helicopter pictures at http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?139418-Vietnam-War-Helicopter-Aviation-OH-6A-and-OH-58A

 Neat old anchor I drug home from Pensacola while visiting daughter in the Navy, stamped 100 which is probably for 100 pounds, drove it home in a Geo Metro,    Oppositional Defiant picture post wont allow me to drag the pics in the order or position I would like, again probably designed by a someone who is not concerned with quality, shouldn't be that hard to design services that work

Railroad Bridge Anvil

Used mainly in large industral forging operations like the railroad and shipyards, around 1000lbs, 41 inches long, 25 tall and face is 8 wide,   New toy, heard it was in my area 10 years ago, but no one knew where, then someone posted the blower in the background on craigslist , I bought the blower a 24 inch buffalo forge, and the conversation turned to anvils, and he said his dad had one over a 1000lbs, i asked if it had a hole in the middle, when he said it did, i knew what he had, we went to dads house who had it in the flower garden, a nice guy who decided it was time for someone else to enjoy it, and couple hours later it was loaded, picture is it at home still in the bed of the truck, sunday got it into the shop, I need to get the history on it, thought I would share a pic, must have some carbon it rings nicely,
