UH-1B Huey departs Torrance airport after honoring American Veterans at the Western Museum of Flight 

My Dad was a UH-1 Med-Evac pilot in the Army during the Viet Nam war, flying out of Plieku 67-68. His flight logs during the Tet Offensive in 1968 were very telling of what those guys faced. The daily take off/landing cycles they made was staggering. My pop had a number of aircraft that were so shot up they would never be flown again. I will forever remember my childhood years at Fort Rucker Alabama. Every afternoon at 4:30 every Huey that was airworthy would fly over the main parade grounds on the base, 4 across, as far as you could see. We would always just stop everything we were doing and watch. The ground would shake! The men who flew these into battle had one of the most rugged machines ever built. America air power at it's best!

Most iconic helicopter ever made.

WHEN I WAS HUEY PILOT IN THE SPANISH ARMY(FAMET) WICH WAS ALSO MY FIRST HELICOPTER, I WILL NEVER FORGETTHE BENEFITS OF THAT MACHINE FOR THAT TIME.IT WAS STILL IS IN IN THE CIVIL SPHERE, AN EXCELENT MACHINE.GREETINGS.

The Bell UH1B "Huey" an awesome aircraft! I've flown his big brother the UH1H In Chile... By the way I did my FAA commercial helicopter license and CFI back in 1995/96 in Torrance with at this time Bravo helicopters… Today JJ helicopters...

the helicopters that supported the brown water fleet for the US Navy....these guys were awesome.

Those Huey helicopters are serving a longer working life than most human beings. Their performance never declined over time, unlike a human being. Amazing!

What a sound!

Ohhhh that sound of her waking up, should be offered as a white noise sleep sound track...

Not sure if this was B model, but it was a Baby Huey. Just back in country from R&R, heading back to my company . This was my ride. My company was in contact and this bird was packed with ammo crates. I squeezed in. We went down the runway, nose down, dragging the skids until we could lift off. Never did that before. When we got out to the company, dropping like rock at about 30ft, the crew shoved the crates out the door. We almost touched down, they pushed me out the door and were gone in about 10 seconds. Hairiest ride I ever had on al slick.

None of the Seawolves that I saw (HAL-3) in-country never had a footprint of the American Chicken on their sides. They came to our rescue any number of times! Great guys doing a fantastic job. I was on PBRs.

Nice! My father-law was an AO (Gunner) in HAL-3 Det 7 during Vietnam. Much respect for those guys.

my buddy was a door gunner in nam and he told me at first flight he saw tiny light holes in the floor of the bird and then he realized they are shooting at the bird from the ground making little holes,,, just WOW...

Some guys in my HM-14 squadron were members of HAL-3.

That beautiful bird sounds just like Vietnam 🇻🇳

This was the UH-1M variant. the uh-1p variant was based of the uh1a/b.

Thing of beauty! Fly Navy!!!

awesome video, thanks guys

That is my life's dream to fly that helicopter. I love them. They look aggressive and are awesome

Nice video, thanks for sharing. I wish I could have stayed for departure but couldn't. I was their for their arrival and it was nice seeing Pat again. They are a great bunch out there at Wings and Rotors Museum. I have my shots on Flickr of arrival.

Pretty Darn Cool

Its been a dream of mine to fly in a huey.i gotta get money to ride in one

Sweet!

Nice!

Yeaasssssss man I get so excited just hear one fire up. God please let me fly in one before I die. Oooh man I have always wanted to be a pilot from the time I could walk I had that little electric helicopter that suspended from a wire it just went up down forward and backward I'd play with it until the battery's went dead. I cost my wonderful mom and DAD a small fortune in batteries. I loved that toy so much. I wonder why they stopped making them? I'd buy one right now lol if they made them still. Awesome toy. Awesome helicopter.

Nice.

Nice

Is that the only one with guns
