One can never tire of photos from Japan. Those have to be the best looking Apaches in the world. Thanks for posting!

I love to see the Japanese stuff and these are first class. Must admit I'm stumped for an ID on the twin seat helo with the small ski's though.

I think it's a Kawasaki OH-1. Not something you see everyday!
