My dad did 2 tours in Vietnam- in 66-67 as an ARVN advisor, then in 68-69 with the 101st. 30 years later in 1999 as an ROTC cadet I was able to catch a ride on a Virgina ARNG UH-1 from Fort AP Hill to a University of Richmond athletic field. One of the most memorable helo rides of my life.

This is my favorite helicopter of all time since 5 years old. I just love the sound of the Huey's blades. Can't get over it.

That old bastard was and still is one of the best choppers ever in service!!!

The dragonfly showing up around 6:04 was a perfect. Sending off a machine based on its unique design.

I served in Vietnam, that was a work horse, It took us on all our missions, carried supplies, and wounded, I'll never forget the sound of them pounding the sky to pick us up

With over 1, 100 military flight hours in Huey’s, the start-up was always exciting as it led to the joy of my life. Age and medical disabilities keep me on the ground today after 36 years in the military, and 22 of those years flying. HOOAH.

[KENNY-jvut]

One of the most stable platform for medical treatment and transport. THANK YOU UH1

The sound of a Huey taking off is a sound that, once you hear it, chances are you'll NEVER forget the first time you heard it for as long as you live.

To all the Vietnam vets watching this whose minds drifted back to another time decades ago while watching, THANK YOU for your service.

[terryjaster]

I love that sound. There is no other like it

[Chipper]

Every time I see a Huey, I immediately start humming Fortunate Son by CCR. That copter is still the beast.

6:04 a little dragonfly admiring Huey. Wants to be just like it when it grows up ;)

When seeing Huey & hearing the sound of Huey, it reminds me about those old days flying with American troops to the combat zones. I had a chance to take a trip from Ai Tu Air field to Sarge fire base near Khe Sanh with one of the American team advisor back in 1972, this fire base was occupied by one of South VN Marine unit, luckily we got the oder to fly back Dong Ha in the evening otherwise we would have been hit with 122 mm rockets launched by the NVA that night . I would like to say thanks & appreciations to all American service members who had served in VN to help us defend the South . The result was disappointed but will never forget your contributions.

Anybody else positively *delighted* by the presence of the dragonfly?

[bryanmahon]

Former Marine. I just wish they would make another chopper with that iconic sound. It was always a treat to see, and hear them coming in. They made a statement like no other chopper...

[russellcoleman]

Nothing in the world like that sweet sound !

[astock]

I never tire of listening to this bird start up and run
What a beast

[judeharvey]

The sound of the huey...just beautiful

[waynehuman]

There is a lot of Huey videos out there, but this one really gets the sound right. I know because I was in Vietnam at the 241st Trans Co., one of two helicopter support units in Vietnam.

So envious of Japan for keeping their own version of the most iconic helicopter in the western world in service... Glad I had my chance to fly in one
