Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Huey's are neet. I almost bought a B model gunship once. Couldn't come up with the cash.
No Joke it really was for sale.
Looks like fun too me.

The Rotary Wing Show - For Helicopter Aircrew, By Helicopter Aircrew
When I was 11 years old, I was at a military show at MAS Yuma and was able to go for a ride
in a Huey. The pilot made some sharp banking maneuvers . Sitting on that bench, looking
straight out at the ground, was one of the most exciting things I have ever done.

I was addicted to the "Hokey-Pokey" but I've turned
myself around.
Its been a long time since I rode in a Huey. It was my favorite of all the helicopters that I rode in while I was in the USMC.
