The first combat operation of the UH-1 was in the service of the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. The original designation of HU-1 led to the helicopter's nickname of Huey. In September 1962, the designation was changed to UH-1, but "Huey" remained in common use. Approximately 7,000 UH-1 aircraft saw service in Vietnam. [Wikipedia]

That sound, of the rotor and the blade slice into the air is edge d in their heart forever.

Funny thing is for me as a U.K. Army Vet is that back in the day going up in a chopper I really didn’t think about enjoying the ride. I was too much focused on getting to the objective and disembarking correctly on the objective and what our immediate drills were on the ground etc. These guys had a ball doing this I’m sure. I did Chinook, Puma mainly.

On the 80s during my childhood, in my state the army national guard had this uh1 huey and I listened to them and saw those all the time. Like it very much even today. God bless the veterans of the unites states

[@nelsondimas8157]

[@rhight]

I love the Huey. God bless these guys.

[@williammoses6232]

strange it was a lot easier to get aboard
a huey in '68,,,, had more equipment though
one thing these old vets don't have to
wonder about that i did in '68,,, what's waiting for them at the LZ.

[@jorgenhansson3307]

Me too. Been a Dream for a long time. It is not allowed in my country 😢

[@michaelleftwich8186]

I would LOVE to ride on one of those.

[@jorgenhansson3307]

Me too. I cant do it in my country. Only in the US. Hopefully in 2025 at my visit there.😂

[@williammoses6232]

i love these birds. ridden in them a few times state side
spent several hours in one in '68 to '69 it wasn't for a joy ride
then. it was the REAL DEAL, you always prayed NOT to see red smoke at the LZ
seems so funny that that time was way back when now. where did the time and my youth go???

[@carloS-jy1fl]

Not a single Huey came with doors in Vietnam if i remember correctly, so it wouldve been wrong amd not thr whole experience to give these guys.
Planning on buying a Huey in the next 2 years, will so search and rescue, aswell as help the Wild Fire Service Departement out.
