I flew Hueys myself, so did Dad. It was a great father/son moment when we flew together once.
I had the honor of flying with the some of the last Vietnam Huey pilots. Loved every minute of it.
To this day, nothing beats the "Sound of Freedom"
Since a few of you have discussed Hueys in this thread thought you'd like to know UH-1 #823 which flew combat missions in Vietnam is being restored to fly again in Pennsylvania. Here's a link to their site: http://libertywarbirds.com/index.html
I believe this was be same group that was here last year. Awesome guys and an awesome ride. I was able to go twice. Once with friends, and once with my son.
