The Huey was the helicopter of my misspent youth. I've flown many miles in the damned things, short hops as a passenger. I learned to rappel from a Huey and I've gotten out of them when it was so dark all I could see was the dim lights from the cabin and a piece of rope dangling in the darkness.
What an adventure the Huey was.
Very distinctive sound too. I can recognize it's signature thump from miles away.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, and thanks for what you did Paw! I preferred NOT to leave a perfectly good airplane (or helo) in flight... :-)
ReplyDeleteMan......I have good memories of days spent behind the controls of a Huey....
