I miss the sound of Hueys. The Army NG here used to fly them overhead a lot. Now they fly Chinnoks and Blackhawks.
One of the wilder Huey rides I took was in Nam on RAC's gunship, T-Bird 4. RAC might have made a good candidate for SF, but I guess he decided to return to a "normal" life.

120 knots, nap of the earth, skids in the brush no time to blink if you FU, that's as intense as getting direct fire, God I love Huey's. I miss them too Tom, I get over to Ft. Lewis about once a month where the modern stuff is flown, they still have that venerable old work horse the Chinook there. I can set all day watching them and wishing one of the crew would yell out "come on old fat bastard and go for a ride with us". Thanks RAC

Truth is a dumbass. HUEY's allow much more selective fire than a Bomb from high overhead.
HUEY A Model #58-2091 is on display, (very dilapitated now), outside the Old Division/Post Headquarters building. I crewed that helicopter in 1962, in Air Mob Co. 101st Avn Bn(Prov), 101st Airborne Division. That one is an "A" model. Cajun Dustoff of Ft. Polk is the last of the HUEY Dustoff companies and they are flying the HUEY "V" model. That is some evolution. They are phasing in Lakotas and phasing out the HUEYs. I get to see the Cajun Dustoff guys at work when they are covering for the 6th Ranger training Bn Swamp segment of RANGER school.
Most distinctive Army aircraft ever.
