This machine is located in the parking lot of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5990 at 15850 West El Tiro Rd. Marana, AZ. It appears to be a AH-1 Cobra. It has been painted over but it is still possible to see United States Army on the fuselage and a faint number, O-2-065, on the tail. On the front is painted, proudly, Michelle. There is an orange mouth with white teeth on the underside of the front with orange and black eyes on the nose. The machine appears to be in fairly good shape with full nose guns and rocket launchers under the wings.
