Im a old man spent lots of hours in one of these in Vietnam. When i hear one im a young man again

I have about 800 hours in a Huey H model (Army 82-85, non combat) and this brings back many memories, what a great machine & well served in the Army.
Thanks to all of the out of country vets for all you did!

The only time I ever started one without using the written checklist was when mortars were falling. About 2200 hours between the Huey and Chinook and never made a mistake someone had to pay for with their life.

I still love this sound 50+ years later.

I just started flying the UH-1H in DCS World, Its helpful to see the real world startup procedure. Thanks for the knowledge.

1000 hours of CE time. I never got tired of hearing the checklist being read and the shout "clear"!

I'm an ex-Famet. (Fuerzas aeromóviles del ejército de tierra) For me, UH 1H was my favorite one. I LOVE IT. Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸

Which one of those switches play Fortunate Son by CCR?

Been working in aviation all my life. Note how he touches all the buttons as he does his checks. RULE in aviation whether flying or fixing... always touch when doing final checks... NOT JUST LOOK!

Nice video, 13 years flying Hueys, love that sound!

From Mattel Messerschmidt to Huey to Cobras to Loaches...never saw a checklist in US or Vietnam. Then transitioned to starch wing Cessna and started off with a check list to start, checklist to run up the engine before takeoff and again in the pattern for a landing and shutdown.

Guy talking, "Did you get all that?" Guy listening, "Huh?"

[DieselRamcharger]

One of these coming to life is just an insane symphony.

[NEVERTRUMP-pz]

Would love to have an updated 3D version of the Huey in DCS

'Chickenhawk' is a great nivel about Vietnam. By the end you feel like you could almost fly a Huey.

[moriver]

I could not get used to flying the Huey PIC from the left seat. In the military we always started and flew from the right seat. Seemed more natural to use the left hand for radios, etc.

Big Paul from Occ Choppers always get It Done before the deadline

An important video such as this demands better audio clarity so we can understand everything.

Easy peasy thanks mate you can hop out now I got it from here! I'll be taking my chopper home now
