1. Ahhh the Huey…..

2. Cant wait till they have good Huey model drones.

3. I can hear Ride of the Valkyries in my head.

4. An exceptional utility helicopter. I have been a passenger aboard the Huey, Blackhawk and Chinook and all provided excellent theater transportation.

5. Heroes in a shxtty war.

6. Umm, we never had Huey’s in Australia. Even though they’re the same thing, we referred to them as Iroquois.

   I miss all the old aircraft we would see from the school yard. Iroquois, Chinook’s, F-111’s, Hercule’s and so on.

   It was a sad day (for me) when they decommissioned the F-111’s. 🙁

   EDIT: But yeah, during the Vietnam conflict, I dare say most of our lads were transported in US aircraft, Huey’s in this case.
