Is it going to fire those missiles from there or just transport them ?  ;D
Them's for JATO parties.

Have the missile motor fire but not leave the launcher. Watch the whole thing spin like a pinwheel!

It reminds me of something that would be used in the Thunderbirds. Maybe add three or four jets on canards or the tail...

Good view of the dorsal surface

These transport choppers can really pull some moves! Plenty of HP for lifting heavy stuff so easy to pull tight maneuvers when empty. I was on an exercise with the US Army controlling blue (good guy) air support while the red force (bad guys) showed up with a CH-53 simulating a Hind helicopter. I don’t know who was flying it but he was pulling some wicked moves! The A-10 pilot I was controlling ask me what he should do.  My reply was simply, “Shoot ‘em!”
