My cousin was a "Dust-Off" Huey pilot in Nam in 1965-65 but was killed in a crash of November 1969 on his last tour. Sorely missed!!!! But he was a hero in Dust-Off and one a few Black Dust-Off pilots and A/Cs in Vietnam. Miss you Capt. Robert Lee Cottman.....
Now it has to be designated "experimental." But we all know the Huey is tested, tried and true and nothing experimental about her. If ever helicopters are done away with, and the last helicopter turned in, they will fly back in a Huey.
I am retired Army and was a 67N Mos(Single Engine Rotor Turbine) basically a Crew Chief on a Huey. Will never forget the sound of those Huey rotor blades. A wonderful, life-saving sound in Nam. Served in the 145th Combat Aviation Bn 67 & 68.
Will These Planes Flyover American Secondary Schools Colleges and Universities OUSD Job Training Centers DeFremery School Santa Fe School Recreational Centers For a Evacuation Drill?No or Yes, Not Until 2021 due to COVID
Was a Crew Chief on several of them. Was in charge of the entire Huey squad at the 507th Trans company at FT Campbell in the late 70's. Went to Korea. Guess what, My babies (Heuys) were there. Then shit went down hill. This was about 1981'ish.. I so much want one more ride. 61 years old now, any one know where I can take that "one last ride?".

It would have helped enormously if the operator could hold the camera steady, point it in the right direction and stop speaking throughout the filming !!!
flew with the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation last year in Charlotte. My GF and I got the right door-gunner's seat. It brought back so many memories.. Much of the time I had tears in my eyes. My apologies to the crew chief for hopping out as soon as the skids hit the ground.. It was a pavlovian reflex. I am not used to the birds actually landing in the LZ! Lord, it is good to hear that sound again! Retired Marine grunt
Awesome bird and great crew, the one crew member kept talking with the child on the flight and I am sure this experience will be something he remembers for a lifetime.
