Bell AH-1 Cobra and Bell UH-1 Iroquois Demo - Olympic Flight Museum 

I went to basic in 83 and then to ft. Eustis for AIT on the Cobra. I remember during the first week, we watched a film about how the Army told Bell they wanted everything on the Huey but squeezed into an airframe no wider than 36 in! It sounded impossible at the time but they did it! On the downside, it made working on some stuff a total pain in the ass! Like putting safety wire back on the#2&3 bearing oil strainer! Worst task ever to try to do! Especially out in the field! After I got back from Korea my last assignment was as an instructor at the school teaching powertrain and Rotors to the new mechanics. It's funny...I forget what I had for dinner the day before done times but I can still tell you the torque on the pitch change rod retaining bolts on the Cobra: 1250 -1550 inch/lb I miss those aircraft! You could always hear them coming too! That low rumble that eventually turned into a loud chopping.

@@ColdWarAviator the Cobra was a bad ass for sure. When they came flying in look out. Last time I rode on a Huey was 1970, but you never forget the sound. Like you said, I can remember details about the inside of the Huey, the smell, the whinny start up like it was a hour ago. Ask me what I did last week? Lol. I gotta really think about that. Take care brother

@@johnburrows1179 "Cobra and Huey are the two greatest" No sir, The Chinook and Huey are the greatest

…and when you were in a firefight, there was NOTHING better than that inbound sound.

kman 44pppp

not for the Vietcong lol, more like the sound of death and here we go again more soldiers arriving just when we were about to eat lunch.

Mike Serot Yeah he does

Run, Charly, run...😄 Great Helicopters. I'm from Germany, and here are the Huey's grounded. You only can see them in static Display. Only a few are still in service, but the end is near. So sad. I love the Huey.

And then when they do show a Huey, they use the sound from a Robinson. lol Every. Single. Time.

The UH-1Y is the modern era new build of the icon....They call it the Venom, but its still a Huey.

I got that answer for you: politics 👈😒

@@angelisreal were are they because we barely saw them in Iraq and Afghanistan, Blackhawks is what all of the branches are using.

@@lcfflc3887 the USMC is the only branch that operates them.
