THAT WAS ONE HELL OF A KICK ASS VIDEO OF TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF HUEY PILOTS!. FRIKKKKKING AMAZZZZZZZZZYING!.
+Robbie B. You’re making me smile Robbie. I’ve had that video idea for 5 years and been waiting a longtime to execute it. So when Rick the rc pilot told me of his new friend who owns a Huey, the wheels started turning. The goal was to do something I haven’t seen done before. Glad you enjoyed the video, make sure to see the other videos on the channel. Enjoy
Kevens!, We the RC pilots are very jealous of you!, hehe he Lol. I own a few RC Helicopters my self, But nothing like the scale of a model you built and your lucky event!. My dream would be hopefully getting lucky enough to get a Riding in the largest heavy lifter Sea Stallion or the large ass Stinger helicopter that they use a lot in dropping water on wild forest fires!. Your video made me so DANG JEALOUS; But I enjoyed your enthusiasm in your dream come true also!, and THANKS FOR YOUR AWESOME REPLY BACK TO ME, That hardly ever happens, Thank you very much for the great video clip for me and everyone else to watch and view and ENJOY!. =))
I liked
Glad to hear. Make sure to check out the other videos on the channel .Thanks for passing through Jerome.
Hey Robbie , hope all is well. I have an other video, I want to share with you.

When you hear the “Thump Thump” of a Huey that can only mean that “Some Shit is Happening”... LOVE THAT SOUND!!!
It is loud, don’t know what I’d do with the headphones to absorb the sound of those turbines.
As a Vietnam veteran who worked on balancing/repairing the Huey UH-1H rotors, I really enjoyed this video. Brought back fond memories. Great video.
It means a lot to hear you like the video. What’s your favorite scene n the video? Thanks for watching.
Hey Blackhawk, hope all is well. I have an other video, I want to share with you. Hope you'll enjoy this one too.

@Jimmy Jazz What is it?
@Jimmy Jazz Ahh cool! Thanks for that info :)
Thanks for sharing this vid dude. Brought back memories when my dad transferred from active duty US Army to Army National Guard back in the late 80's. His National Guard unit had an entire airfield full of hueys he would take me out and let me sit in them
I love hearing those stories, thanks for taking the time to watch this one. Since your dad was in the military, I have an other video on the channel I think you'll enjoy, it's called "Sweet Lady Liberty" . Thanks for passing through.
@@kevens anytime my friend
From one Huey lover to another, that was MAGNIFICENT!! It has always been my dream too but so far it's still on the bucket list!! Love that GI Joe size Huey!! Had me really fooled at the end because I thought it was the full size Huey flying right next to the house!!! Totally a joy to watch. Thanks & God Bless You!!
Dan, thanks for taking the time to watch the video and glad you liked it. The build on the little one was that good, I have mote of it on the channel. Don’t hesitate to subscribe, as I plan to add more heli videos in the near future.
when the last blackhawk gets taken to the bone yard, a Huey will bring the crew home.
+chick mcgee The definition of helicopters.
chick mcgee , I hope it will at least be in one of the new UH-1Ys.
New! you mean the twin engine ones with four bladed?
chick mcgee That's an amazing quote.
Come across this video by accident... But it's put a smile on my face. Two different guys brought together by a common interest, just shows how the world and all us on it could be! Anyway... No wonder the Huey is so well built...with the amount of shaking it puts up with (is that normal?) Thanks for posting, and I must add...that RC model is fantastic!
Glad you enjoyed the video James, and got the message in it. The shaking from what I hear is regular at least on the Huey. I have an other video that addresses that on the channel, do take a look . Wishing you well
Oh yeah, that vibration is definitely part of the deal.
The last Huey I flew in was in 1969 and it was the second one that I walked away from auto rotations due to heavy fire. The other 50 or so went just fine. Strong bird. Hated to see them come to pick us up for an op. but loved them when they came back to take us out... They were a hell of a lot better when they added the second engine......semper fi
Two engines are always better than one. I can only imagine what was going through your mind every time you got picked up. Thanks for reaching out Steve.
Someone once said “ The UH1 doesn’t fly, It just vibrates so bad the Earth rejects it”
Best quote about the Huey, thank you. Do subscribe to my channel, planning on filming soon.
This is an amazing opportunity that your friend seized and the joy on his face is priceless. Having grown up in and around aviation, both civilian and military, this hits home, because I know that feeling very well. Beautiful to see an amazing job by both pilots, and he did an amazing job at piloting the Huey. Bravo!
I thought it was “... they just beat the air into submission!”
@@DavidVanmeterDutch that's any whirlybird....but the Huey was the inspiration for that expression! A Huey's distinct "whomp.whomp.whomp" can be heard loud and clear miles away, and there's nothing quite like it. Another one is the Chinhook AKA The flying Eggbeater
@@DavidVanmeterDutch That's for helicopters in general.
The sounds bring back some great memories. I worked on these for 12 years in the Australian Airforce RAAF
I knew the Huey was popular but had no idea it was so loved. See the other heli videos on the site and don’t hesitate to subscribe.
We called her Mum! She allways brought us Home. Greetings from the 🙏 Gemann 272 Mobile Infrantie
1986. She is still a Beauty!!😘
Thanks for taking the time to watch my Huey tribute.
This was the coolest thing I've seen on CZcams in a long time, you've brought a smile to my face this morning, thank you
So good to hear, thank you. It’s done with love. I have more heli videos on the channel, don’t hesitate to subscribe 🙏🏾
The sound of that Huey is like no other! I'm a former Marine and I never had an opportunity to ride in that particular one. Many others but no the
Huey!
ThE UH-1 Huey is truly special. So glad to have been able to share my experience with everyone here.
I just love the fact that you crewed your huey model with "GI Joes" or 1/6 scale action figures, I've always wanted to do that.
Rick is his name, he is the one piloting the small heli. He is the best builder I know.
Is the model a 600mm or 700?
My legs are too crippled to fly a helicopter. Watching this guy with the biggest smile, priceless. Respect, Owner/Pilot.
I live in Haines City, I see these Hueys and Chinooks. I, once, had a dream of learning how to fly.
A flight simulator does bring a lot of joy. It's not like flying in the Huey but it's satisfying.
OMG ive been flying RC for a few years, been in a couple of real helicopters but not flown a real one. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS IVE SEEN HERE EVER! This had my heart rate increasing, great video. I wish i had either of those great heli's. Thank you for posting this.
So glad you enjoyed this video Damon. My intention was pure and simple, to remind people how beautiful and powerful of a machine it it. Don't hesitate to subscribe.
How could anyone not like this video, look at the smile on his face. I would love to have the opportunity to fly in one of these legendary choppers and my country don’t even use these.
Thanks Paul. It was a great experience, one I won't soon forget. See the other videos on the channel and don't forget to subscribe.
Yeah you know when a huey is on the horizon with that distinct chop by the rotor head.
chop chop!
Awesome video bro. I'm a US Army vet of the 1st Cav and I was part of the unit in a time just before we phased out Hueys for the Blackhawks. I got to ride in one myself and fly left seat. I know exactly the feeling you have in being able to do something like this. I also fly R/C, though only fixed wing, and I was a full scale pilot in civil aviation. I fulfilled a dream when at the age of 19 I bought my own airplane before I bought a car. It was a homebuilt plane, but hey, I was a teenager and I owned an airplane. Doesn't get much more awesome than that. This is a great video you have here.
Wow, you are blessed. What an experience it must have been, having a plane before a car?
Holy cow, that sound at 4:56. Probobly the best Huey sound I found so far on youtube
You know it
I was a 91B with the 427th Medical Company(AMB) when I was picked to help test the high powered hoist system 1979-1980 on the UH-1. I had a great time and remember my time flying as a crew man on that great aircraft. I also had a very short time on the UH-1 at Schofield Barracks.
Thanks for your service Gene. This bird is not going out of style anytime soon, way too many stories about this iconic bird.
One of the best UH-1 videos i've seen on yotube. Thanks Kevens! Filming was very good and I was surprised how shaky it became once the rotor started spinning. It almost felt like something went wrong, but as I read its normal on Hueye.
We have UH-1 standing right next to my PC-12 in a hangar , once they repaint it I might have a chance to fly it too.
Good luck and thanks for the video!
I really feel ya on the DREAM COME TRUE!
I graduated Ft. Rucker class 80-39 in April of 1981, and I'm still pinching myself and loving the decision I made.
This was one of the most uplifting videos I've seen in years, and I appreciate your sharing your experience with the world!
Dreams REALLY DO come true!!!
I am very proud of this video.
Here is an other video, although different but I think you’ll also enjoy. Here is the link: czcams.com/video/5WlbMAyuUYs/video.html
Loved the video. Back in the day she was our backbone. I love the Huey. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome Rich, glad you enjoyed the video. I have on the channel, hope you’ll take a look and subscribe.
Living the dream!! BOTH of you guys! Damn!! So cool, so well shot and such a great video!! NICE JOB!! :)
Glad you enjoy our efforts. Have you had a chance to check out the other heli videos on the site? Don’t hesitate to subscribe.
I agree with Mike. very well done piece and the fact that he let you actually fly the Huey would be just amazing. I have only flown once in a 206 jet Ranger at an airshow. got to fly by the pilot and it was great. The framing of that beautiful scale Huey was great. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching the video and glad you enjoyed it Jay.
Most excellent! I bet it took days for your smile to fade. UH-1 has always been my favorite. Your model is awesome!
I am still smiling.
What a fantastic video, all I could think of was you thinking it was Christmas, what a joy to see it. Just a little more talking about what was happening.A big Thank You on your flight and dream !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It does appear that Christmas did come early :-) Thanks for watching, make sure to check out the other videos on the channel.
Awesome video...had me in tears! I spent 6 years in the Navy, from '77-'83 as a nuclear power plant operator on the USS Texas (CGN-39). While in the Navy, I flew on various aircraft, including a Navy COD landing on the deck of the USS Nimitz. 4 years ago the American Huey Association came to my home town of Oscoda, MI, former home of Wurtsmith AFB. I rode on their Huey and LOVED IT! That 15 minute ride for a joining fee of $100 was WELL WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION! Sure, I could have rode a local sight-seeing helo on a 45 minute trip for $75, but it is NOT EVEN CLOSE to to the experience of a Huey!
I have not been on too many helicopters, the ride you see me take in that Huey will last a lifetime. Thanks for watching the video, hope you’ll subscribe to my channel.
Thanks for posting! Two craftsmen having fun!
You’re welcome. Check out the other videos on the channel. Cheers
Awesome video and great story love these helicopters my grandfather was a door gunner in the Huey during Vietnam and he as well loves this incredible flying machine.
So glad you like the video. I tell you, the Huey is so very special, I have met so many pilots over the years who would brag about it. Until this flight, I didn't truly know what they meant. On this Veteran's day, sending much love and appreciation to all who fought and are fighting for the USA
Appreciate that sir and I️ am active duty military so thank you so very much and again great video.
+marty donohue Bless you sir. Thank you for putting yourself out there on the battlefield for us The Almighty guide and protect you.
@@kevens The first time that I ever rode on a Huey was while I was a AFJROTC cadet in Germany. The Huey was an US Army UH-1H stationed at Pirmasens Germany. I sat in the right side door gunners seat, and during the flight the pilot decided to fly nap of the earth, and while he did he banked left and right like a pendulum down a break in the trees. I saw trees, ground, trees, sky, trees, and etc. The last time I had a ride on a Huey it i was active duty USAF Security Policeman at Minot AFB ND. The aircraft was a USAF HH-1N assigned to the base for missile field support. The pilot needed to get his flight hours in, so he was getting them by flying my partner and I around our missile flight area checking on Minuteman Launch Facilities. We would land on a site check it out then take off and go on to the next site, we did 5 sites this way. At one site we landed under the power lines. When we took back off the pilot backed the Huey out from under the lines. I was justifiably impressed with his skills at the stick.
Thank you! I love the old Hueys! Great video!
+Michael Cuff They are really special machines. Oh man they are loud.
The startup sequence is so cool to watch
+Tomas Teran It’s something isn’t it? Thanks for watching Tomas.
Thank you for taking us along to share in your dream come true. That was awesome!
+DeadZone318 Awesome indeed, you’re welcome. Make sure you see the other videos on the channel.
That was almost too cool! Two nice guys with something in common that made them seem like life long friends.
+Mark PLogger They were both smiling the entire time. Good times
I just ground this video , the crank up had my heart doing 6600 rpm .
I'm now 71 this sent me back to 69-70 and my right gun . Thank You
For the video .
Old gunner
An honor to have you here sir. Thank you for watching, I have a few more heli videos that will make you smile on the channel. Enjoy this day
The last time I flew in a helicopter was in the early and late 80’s.
Last time.
Before I leave this earth I would love to spend a day in a Huey, UH-1.
It’s my life’s dream.
man this is awesome! glad youve gotten the ride you deserved my brother!
It was a day I won’t soon forget. I have more rc videos on the channel and hope you’ll subscribe.
As far as I’m concerned the UH1 is the best whirlybird out there.
I share your sentiment Keith. Thanks for watching
Keith Whisman , What do you think of the latest Y models the USMC is using?
David Hoffman they are nice but not as rough and tough as their grand daddy machines were in Vietnam the old gun ships with a grenade launcher in the nose on a swivel mount and rocket launchers and nail guns and mini guns and quad gun layouts that were all the rage back then the old work horse ships that I had a pleasure to ride in before the birds were retired were loved by their crews who dreamed of UH60s but I know they dreaded the loss of their UH1s. Oh how I wish I still had my pictures, I had hundreds of pictures that were in a couple photo albums that were stolen from my car. All my military memories are just memories now.
Keith Whisman , Thieves sometimes steal stuff that has no high resell value, but is very valuable to one person or family. Sorry to read of that loss.
From what I have read the new Ys are teamed up with the latest Cobras in various combinations that have proven extremely effective and efficient for the USMC in real world combat. The older models suffered from a lack of performance in the mountainous areas of Afghanistan and in high temperature areas. The Y's significantly upgraded avionics allows them to work much better with the Cobras during night missions than the older Hueys.
The Huey's days are limited. There is a big move on for the much faster coaxial helicopters with push props in the back that are in research and development. Something to shut off the lovers of the extremely vulnerable Osprey type designs. I would be just terrified to be taking heavy fire during an Osprey's powerplant rotation with all that hydraulics and wiring exposed. You ever notice how only the worker bees have been using the V-22s during Presidential or Cabinet support missions? Very rare for any Cabinet Secretary to be in a V-22.
Keith, sorry to hear about the loss of your pictures. Maybe you can work on a documentary telling the world your story. That's better than any pictures.
Im not sure how I stumbled on this video but glad I did. I had not idea that air strip was that close to me! i will have to watch for that Huey flying by sometime! Keep them flying!
Glad you this video. I have more on the channel and don’t hesitate to subscribe.
It was great to share a mans dream of flying in a Huey. It has been many yers since I rode in one and it wasn’t in the front seat either.
Should say “years” in the previous post, as I am sure you have figured out.
+Bud Worl I know what mean Bud. How many years are we talking about?
maybe not,, but I love his ear-to-ear grin
Great Video Guys! I have watched this 3 times in a row. I would love to have the small one, it would be fun. Thanks for the flight it was great.
3 times! that’s good to hear, glad you like and don’t forget to subscribe. The rc version is the one most people can afford. To replace one of the blades in the big one, you’d have to come up with 100k, imagine that?
Wow!!!! What an awesome video. I love the model coming in at the end!!!
Glad you enjoyed it brother. I have all kind of videos on the channel, don't hesitate to subscribe.
Oh wow, i become goosebumps when i hear the sound, absolutley awesome. Your smile says, it was very funny and emotional, to fly with the good old Bell UH-1 . Thanks for share with us 😎👍
Glad you enjoyed my video. I have more on the channel, don't hesitate to subscribe.
Very jealous. Love the unmistakable sound of the Huey!! That whop whop whop 👍🏻🇺🇸
It’s a flying tank, loved every moment.
You got a ride and, you got to fly a Huey ! Very cool and I feel your passion for the Huey. My favorite aircraft of all time. When I was a kid (born in '56) I used to see Hueys flying by our house from an Army air base nearby.
I am the guy who came up with the idea for this video and behind the camera. Rick is the pilot who got to fly them both. Hope you’ll check out my other heli videos on the channel and subscribe.
Here is an other video, although different but I think you’ll also enjoy. Here is the link: czcams.com/video/5WlbMAyuUYs/video.html
Love the midget huey! Seeing the little one sitting next to the full sized Huey, well, talk about family reunion!
I was the first to do such a video and am proud of it. Rick who build the rc one is a master builder. Glad you enjoyed the video, I have other videos on the channel you might also enjoy. Do subscribe & thanks for passing through.
How are you ever going to get that smile off your face?
Nope 🙂
That's so cool man...I see you finally fix the flameout on the RC Heli. Good video man..your old friend from Markham Park
STILL the COOLEST RC helicopter on the Internet!!! A true work of ART complete with the figures, and what piloting SKILLS!!! As for the 1:1 version, Unbelievable!!! What kind of exclusive neighbourhood allows for a Huey in a Hangar garage that you can roll out and go for a casual flight? When you feel like it. Looks like some incredible properties there, some people are living 😊 Is that the Everglades you flew over? Or am I way off? All the best!!
Thanks for watching and glad you were entertained. You're not way off.
Great story, great video. Well done!
+Mike VanIn Glad you like it, thank you for watching.
Incredible bird, I just love the sound of that thing...... Nothing like it!
I love the HUEY! I never got a ride in one though. I flew in the CH-46, 47, 53, the Blackhawk. But never a Huey and that's been my favorite one since I was a child. The love and admiration I have for Vietnam Veterans was the driving force behind me joining the Marines when I was 18. I wanted to be just like those men. I still get a little speechless when I speak to Vietnam Veterans. I work at the VA now as a nurse. Never planned on being a nurse. I took all the courses to be a Firefighter when I was discharged from the Marines but it just never seemed to pan out so I used my pre-reqs for a nursing degree and now I get to talk to Veterans all day long and it's great. I have met some amazing people. Some of the greatest people God ever created that were stuck right smack in the middle of things most will only see in movies and I can tell you it's been my honor to have met them. And I won't ever forget. I have met Veteran's from Pearl Harbor, to Afghanistan and everywhere else in between. I heard every story a particular Army veteran was willing to tell me from his first deployment relieving the Marines from Guadalcanal, to being part of a mixed unit when the Marines picked him and his buddies up at the Chosin Reservoir in Korea. He actually spoke to Chesty Puller when they became part of his command. To his early mission to Vietnam just before he retired and the fighting picked up, for which he was happy to be retired when it did. I would say he had seen enough. Anyways, the Huey is symbolic of Vietnam for me, and for most I would imagine. Thank you for sharing the video.
Thank you for speaking with me from your heart. When I decided to film my friend’s Huey, I had no idea the amount of veterans who would engage me in conversation. I got to thank many of them even more after I wrote and released a song about America I called “Sweet Lady Liberty “ , there should be a link to it at the end of this video. Enjoy the rest of your week.
Really enjoyed watching this video. Aco 229th 1st cav crewchief 66/67. I hope before I kick the bucket that I can go up for a ride one more time.
Oh my goodness, what an honor to have you watch my video. Glad you enjoyed it
As a past crew-member on a Huey (Vietnam 69-70), I still get extremely excited from occasional flights i get at military reunions. Flying in non-combat situations is different, you can read the difference in the book "In the Sanctity of the Snake Pit", a novel by Michael Guard.
Thank you for watching my little video.
ASnakePitProd To be a grunt then a door gunner nothing quite as exciting deffently a case of PTSD
Love the Hueys! Building a model of one for a short film, just a miracle of a heli!
Nice one. Would love to see that film it’s released. See my other rc videos, I think you’ll enjoy them too. Don’t hesitate to subscribe.
Old work horse, some people say this was the best chopper ever made a saving grace to many. The sound was great thing to hear 👂 when rescued
I have heard many people say the same thing. Are you by any chance one of those people who’ve been rescued? Here is an other video, although different but I think you’ll also enjoy. Here is the link: czcams.com/video/5WlbMAyuUYs/video.html
Now that is Truely Wonderful that you Both got to Hang and Fly together through Generosity and Love of your flying machines. I was a 67N, Light Utility Helicopter Crew Chief, Mechanic and Door Gunner for the UH-1, Huey with the DCARNG, 301st Medivac/310 Combat Support. Once the flight bug bites you, You're Always Looking UP to the Sky Fliers!
Take Care!🚁🚁
Thanks for your service George. Would love to get you on camera to talk about those days. I have a song on the channel, I think you’ll enjoy, it’s called “Sweet Lady Liberty “ . Take care
Here is an other video, although different but I think you’ll also enjoy. Here is the link: czcams.com/video/5WlbMAyuUYs/video.html
Lucky you that's been my dream also but I will never get the chance to do it. I 'm so happy to see you fill your dream card. Awesome stuff plus I love your RC Helicopter I also in the past put together RC haven't for a long time. Thank's for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed my little video Michael. Don’t hesitate to see the other helicopter videos on the channel.
That was pretty cool. Especially with mini me in there with the big one.
+Greg Danner I was hoping you were going to like this one Greg. I have a few more on the channel for you to see.
Love that start up sound at 3:19
Wait till you see it up close. I have at least two more videos on the channel with cold starts.
that was awesome. I've always wanted to fly in a Huey. congrats. my best friend got to fly in a Blackhawk and an osprey
because he worked on a couple Michael bay movies.
An Osprey, I would love to experience the transition from hover to forward flight in that bird. Glad you like my video, don’t hesitate to subscribe to my channel.
Love to see one of these gals still flying. Also enjoyed the left seat flightplan. IFBR&R. Ifly by roads and rivers.
I have @ feeling the Huey will always fly. It’s to reliable to be retired. Do you agree?
Really enjoyed watching it and it’s terrific that your dream came true, regards John Tasmania Australia PS what beautiful lawns you have!
Thanks for the kind words. Filming this video was a trip, still feels great to watch it after seeing it countless times. It’s a private airport here in Florida and the lawn did look good everywhere I looked that day. Don’t hesitate to see the other videos on the channel.
Awesome video, must have been an amazing experience.
Thanks for watching. It was an amazing experience for sure. Don’t hesitate to subscribe to my CZcams channel, I have more heli videos coming out soon. I released a new one yesterday.
The Start up was cool to see..all that shaking..I couldn't imagine what these guys at 18 19 20 years old were feeling the first time they sat in one of these . Knowing they were fixing to go to Vietnam...
Going to war is not like going on a date, you might not come back. A feeling no one really want to experience. Glad you like the video, I have an other one you should see “Preflight..” the shaking has a name. Check out that video
Your smiles said it all😊
Amazing.
Old but still great.
+zeckep1 zeckee That’s What great about it. Thanks for watching, make to catch other videos on the channel.
Aviation.... bringing people together to share the same love, awesome video.
I have to admit, this is my favorite video ever since I’ve been filming rc helicopters. Thanks for watching and hope you’ll see the other videos on the channel and subscribe.
That was cool. I use to work for CDF in California years ago on the Helitac crew in Riverside. With a Huey Helicopter.

best sounding chopper ever
I do love this sound but when inside it’s really too loud for comfort.
Sooooo jealous! You got to fly one! The UH-1 is the most beautiful helicopter in my opinion.
I love this helicopter.
@@kevens My first helicopter ride was in a Huey, as they were nearing the end of their career in the Army. Pilot shut off the engine about a thousand feet up above the airport. I think I screamed the whole way down. You can't get a ride like that at any amusement park. It took a month to wipe the grin off my face.
Love this vid ,, glad that you got to see your dream come true .. sounds like the other guys is having the same experience
Thanks for writing Larry. Flying in this iconic bird was really a dream come true. Everyone was smiling, a great experience specially for Rick and I.
I am so happy for you and enjoyed your excitement too.
Thank you. It was really great to fly in that iconic bird.
I've flown in Huey's and jumped out of them, but you, you lucky bastard😏 got to fly one! I'm jealous
lol, Rick is the lucky one. I only got to sit at the pilot seat after they landed. I got more videos on the channel you'll like. Thanks for coming by Kent.
Mama copter and baby copter..How cute.
Lol, never thought of it that way.
Lol
Great stuff. You had a serious grip on that cyclic. Like choking a chicken. Love the sound especially at flight idle,. Non military designations for these are Bell 205. The two engine version is a 212. We use them a lot fighting forest fires.
+aboversite Thanks for watching the video Aboversite. “Like chocking a chicken”, now that’s funny, Rick did have a serious grip on that cyclic and if I were in the seat I would too. I recently saw a video of the 212 and was thinking about a side by side comparison to the uh1 D. By the way, I’d love to see any video you’d like to share publicly.
Rode in one once. Awesome experience. My favorite Helicopter.
+Hobby Time They are amazing birds.
Awesome! Huey's are awesome! Love them too!
They are magnificent.
It's brilliant man
The little bird vs big bird
Thank you. I searched CZcams and couldn’t find an other video like this. Don’t hesitate to subscribe
@@kevens yeb subscribe done buddy👍👍
Man, I'm really happy for you, that's an awesome dream to accomplish, Hopefully i'm not too far behind ya. Cheers!!!
Never give up.
Most days, almost everyday 2 or 3 UH1s flying in arrow formation from Tan Son Nhat to East North East direction. This was in 1973. Possibly carrying Australian troops from Nui Dat back to Airbase in Saigon for withdraw. It was like yesterday, the sound of the UH is unique.
+Phyl Phyl, thank you so very much for your service. I am glad I was inspired to put a spin on this iconic bird.
You know when a huey is on the horizon with the way it sounds. Miss working on the N-model huey damn blades were huge removing them from the xmsn.
Truly a very unique bird. I am surprised when someone tells me how quickly they designed this helicopter back in the day.
Kevens yes indeed it was a honor to be able to work on these aircraft
Glad to have finally flown into one.
I am familiar with the Huey, I was a crew chief of a Charlie model gunship, in 65-66 Bandit 3/4 was credited with saving my aircraft and four lives after the Pilot and co- pilot were wounded , guess what where was my award? if you care to hear more contact me, can't wait .
I'd love to hear all about it. Don't hesitate to leave a long comment, this is the place for it.
When I was little, I grew up near the Army base in Papakura (New Zealand), and the Ardmore Airfield, had the Iroquois flying over daily (1964 - 1975)
Never forget that punchy chop, when directly overhead.
So want a ride in one, but don't know if any are currently flying in New Zealand.
It’s a loud ride and worth every moment. Thanks for watching this video, hope you’ll check out the other ones on the channel.
A great aircraft. Had the chsnce to work on it and fly in it. Super reliable. Love it when u fly with doors open. In the tunnel seat.
How long did you work on it?
That SloMo part was great!

Glad you enjoyed it. What was your favorite part?
Alot of guys in combat owe their lives to this bird...and their aircrews.
This is what I came to understand. Thanks for watching .
Wow! you are a lucky man! great experience...great video!!
An experience I’d love to repeat over and over again. Glad you like the video, do subscribe and don’t hesitate to see the other videos on the channel.
The model is COOL. I hate the Vietnam era, but I get the work put into this. It's amazing. Too bad my dad didn't get his hands on an old B-52 that he flew as the navigator from Guam to Vietnam... I love the sound of B-52 engines- grew up hearing them. But that Huey sounds really nice. The best part of this video are the BIG smiles and happy faces. Really cool experience.
Thank you for writing and thank you for watching the video? I wanted to show a lighter side of the Huey and glad that came across in this video.The B-52 is an other bird I’d love to do a story on. Do you have any pictures of your dad with the B-52?
Fantastic !
Glad you appreciate it Sandro and thanks for watching.
Incredible experience and superb skill in flying!!
Talented pilots.
