This helicopter was one of our favorite finds on Eglin Reservation- we were sad to find that it had been archived, so it only made sense to bring it back to life. Cache is located on a helicopter. It looks like the location may be used at time for manuevers so make sure you look at your access map for the base. It is well hidden and if you read the entire cache page you will find a hint.
