Bravo zulu, Huey.

One of the classic air frames of all time.

My husband flew the Huey in the OK Army National Guard, until they retired it and him.

Crandall was Snake Shit correct?

My Dad used to fly his Huey over the house and wave to us at Benning. I still love that sound and can tell a Bell twin blade rotor from miles away.

Thanks for the post. Here’s a link to a great documentary on the Huey:

A good question should be, “Will there be a commercial production Huey based on the military models?”

There was a very successful commercial production Jeep and Humvee, so why not a Huey?

Its selling points would be that it would be “factory simple”, without a lot of the bells and whistles of most commercial helicopters, with perhaps a more efficient engine. There are lots of Huey models, with all sorts of mods, and Bell might be receptive to a low end production line.

Gotta love the UH-1...the AK-47 of helicopters...simple, rugged, durable.

It is FR protocol that any story about the Ia Drang be bumped to Aloha Ronnie. He was there and is an FR hero of first order.
