As an aging Air Mobile infantryman with over 20 eagle flights under my belt. I will go to my grave with the sight/sound of Hueys flaring for landing and feeling the shock waves in my body from the mini sonic booms given off the blade tips. It's an experience not easily forgotten.

Manufactured by Bell, UH-1N, the helicopter affectionately called "Huey," first entered service in 1970 to assist in search and rescue missions. Maybe the N model came in 1970? I was in country '68,'60 and '70, rode in many of them?

Does anyone else think that $375 million for 4 helicopters is just a tad expensive? $2.4 billion for 84 birds might be a touch over the top?

That’s not the Huey I rode on in Vietnam. More like a newer cousin.

As an Army brat of the fifties and sixties, I grew up to the sight and sound of Hueys. Those machines made an indelible mark on my childhood.
Next to the Boeing B-17, they are my favorite aircraft.
