If you think about it, Cobras just didn't have the appearence of being the "Bad Ass" of the neighborhood. I don't think they could stay on station as long as the ole' Carlie Model and I know the 2 xtra guns sitting in there didn't hurt either. What do you think? Might have had to bounce 'em down the runway to get 'em up, but once they were airborne, WATCH OUT!! All hell would break loose in a HOT LZ. Yep!, They were the best.
