I finally got to ride in a UH-1H on Saturday. The American Huey 369 organization brought a restored UH-1H to Fort Niagara State Park, NY. If you have a chance I'd highly recommend making the effort to do this. Memberships can be purchased at the events they are attending. I was able to watch a start and go for about a 10 minute ride. The most memorable parts were when the rotor system was loaded up in turns and on approach. What a sound! I quickly realized my sim will need a little audio boost. Here's a quick video of one of the liftoffs.

Thanks for sharing Bandit...nothing like a ride in a Huey...

............Except one that ends with a 6 week deployment in the bush ;-)

Can't beat that Wok though - hey.

lol...rgr that

That Huey taking off into the sky ... a magnificent catch-you-in-your-throat moment

Way cool video!

If the chance ever materializes...then GRAB THE CHECKBOOK!!!

(Attending a "hangar party" on the 18th...rumor is that my buddy's buddy will be showing up in his PERSONALLY OWNED Huey! Keeping fingers crossed...)
