UH-1 Huey Start up & Take off

[@robertj.przybylski3866]

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.

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.

*Better" is a subjective term. No doubt the many different permutations of the Bell is the most successful helo ever. I used to drive Bell 212, I'd say it's got one thing making it "better" than a Huey. But with "workhorse" aircrafts, there really isn't much scope for making them better than they were.in the 60's. Aerodynamics and the forces of nature are the parameters for the designs, and has not changed. That's why the Bell, Charlie-130 & the Cessna Skyhawk still looks like they did in the 60's, and they are all the most successful aircrafts in their particular field. But none of them can be declared best.

I was fortunate to have several hundred jumpers, not all at once, jump from Huey's I was flying during my career. For the pilot, when all would jump at the same time, the aircraft would rise up significantly, but we had to also make sure not to over compensate and settle down into a jumper.

[@skunklover5725]

(S.D.R WRITING) The most ICONIC LOOKING & SOUNDING HELICOPTER in the world. I hope it flies for decades or maybe even centuries to come. KEEP ON FLYING BOYS & GIRLS.

[@Skammy5]

That dragonfly be like "Daddy, is that you?"

[@ck4181]

No more like "who's your daddy?"

[@angargoy7181]

When I hear the sound of this helicopter it reminds me of my youth when I was a parachutist and we jumped from these helicopters in Venezuela when this country was a democracy in the seventies and I will never forget the sound of these helicopter blades. some pleasant memories of this time.

[@wayne9585]

Still a democracy...

[@tinycastillo953]

Yes

[@Benjam1208]

How do you know when you have a happy Huey? Its wagging its tail...

[@daveogarf]

EXCELLENT video - and SOUND! Took me right back to the 1960s.

[@Repented008]

That dragonfly at 06:07 be like, "those plagiarizing bastards!"

[@BenHybTV]

"mama"... the dragonfly had the same camo :D

[@greggroover4437]

I aggre for him it would be like us trying to fly a plane jet pack or a helicopter in a hurricane or just really strong winds or a storm

[@greggroover4437]

Hey if you knew about plagiarism and if he knew about money he probably sue us

[@hellohello2738]

Yeah dragonfly thought huey was a alpha dragonfly on steroids with mad genetics😀👍✌on a serious note damn the hu1 is a beautiful helicopter played a big part in vietnam i would love to fly one oneday ive imagined doing so many times while being in bed😒😀👍✌

[@johnmartinsson3501]

Looove the HUEY ! ... I have actually ben fortunate to be a passenger with one of these fantastic helicopters ..When I did Swe Army Tour of duty.. up North.. in Sweden, 94

[@TheAdx1001]

I had the honor to ride in one of these last week thanks to Friends of The US Army Aviation over Gulf Shores Alabama(with the doors wide open I may add). I can't describe how incredible it was, I don't think my blood has ever pumped so much dopamine as I had being inside and feeling the vibration of the engines winding up from idle to lift us off the ground. Just outside my work the coast guard runs drills with the Blackhawks, while the Blackhawk is an amazing machine as well, it's got nothing on the sound of the Huey, that ride will be a standout memory of mine for the rest of my life

That's one of the most thorough airframe preflight checks I've ever seen on a Huey. Only in Japan.

[@samstroup2685]

Same here.

[@Timetonut]

Gotta keep those babies flying!

[@jimbanda]

Absolutely , I have never seen same b4

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

come to florida. The forestry service only use the Huey for all forest fires using a bambi bucket. When they fly within a few miles of my house I always go out and watch them fly by. I always recognize that throaty engine sound from 21 years with them

[@michelletaylor5691]

Nothing like Nam, two old guys in my hometown were Huey pilots during Vietnam.

[@philipfarrell8114]

Thank you for posting this video I love the sound of those blades especially when the pilot pulls up on the collectiv and the soldier walking around doing inspection is very intense with the safety of the chopper and the men inside it's a old aircraft and should have a walk around the way it was performed I love the Huey and wish I could fly with you all it would be a memory that I would cherish be careful and thank you for your service God bless our military men

[@radagastaddams3703]

great sound - can't mistake it for any other helicopter. very careful start -up though. im sure the Huey was designed to get airborne a lot faster in combat. the airport near me has a business that restores radio gear on military vehicles & helicopters & ive been lucky to see Apache, Chinook, a Blackhawk & a couple of Huey's go over my garden.

[@dadskrej5226]

The 'preflight' that took minutes in this video was non-existent in Vietnam..we got in and GO!

[@RyanReddell]

I had the privilege to fly these in combat back in the day on Nova Logic servers. Was able to take a lot of damage.

[@MountainHobbler]

What’s with the odd pat down before liftoff??

[@neilattaway2182]

The huey in my opinion is the most beautiful helicopter to ever take to the sky. Like the E type jaguar, if it looks right then it is right!!

Got a chance to fly in one back in Jan.1988 while in basic training Ft. McClellan, AL... Loved It !!!!!!!

[@4406bbldb]

The first time i was shot down was in one of these back in February 1965. They not go down easy.

[@teaeff8898]

[@williammoses6232]

THANK you sir for your service I rode the door on these machines for the first time in jan of 1968 my tour in sunny south east asia started two months before that

[@williammoses6232]

@theviet ya got that right, been there done that you can keep the t-shirt there from nov 1 1968 to nov 30 1969 do I remember the TET offensive ? you bechum red rider

[@sbc6045]

The first time? More than once then. Nine lives. What number are you on now? 👍

[@bryanmahon7866]

Wow incredible. Glad you made it, and thank you for you're service....!

[@youchris67]

Amazing you can hear the rotor air beating sound change as he eases the collective to start biting more air to lift the bird's load into the air.

[@bryanmahon7866]

That's what makes the huey..

[@BADMONTESS]

We did a lot of helicopter insertion / extractions down in Panama (77-79 B 3/5 193rd Inf. Bde.). Those ended up being the fondest days of my 9 years in the US Army. Never knew it then but the Huey rides were coming to an end as the Black Hawks started showing up. To this day I get misty eyed when I hear a Huey inbound or doing a fly by. The forest service was just using 1 on a fire here in Utah. I now have 3 videos of it coming and going. Just something about that sound and what went with it back in the day. Jumping off of them with your alice pack, blaster and getting off the lz and setting up a perimeter. We even did the Stabo rig, 3 of us suspended side by side under the Huey with the end guys having their outside arm outstretched to stop us from spinning. Then we would be flown out over the pacific for about 10 min. then returned back to the jungle training site. God I miss those days. Recently started drinking from my 2 qt. canteen again just for the plastic taste. It too is a memory. Did you ever give thought that you had taken your last canteen drink? I yearn for some return of those nasty, prickly heat, mosquito infested, black palm days and at least this I can control, a simple little canteen, take a drink with your eyes closed and for 1-100,00th of a second I'm back in the jungle. Hard to believe I have been out for 35 years, OMG, I was in for 09 years 73-83 and did not understand those memories would haunt me as the greatest days of my life. No one out here has your back like your buddies had it. Live on Huey, live on you big bad bird!!

[@andresfeliperojas9170]

Saludos cordiales desde Bogotá Colombia 🇨🇴 yo recuerdo cuando presté servicio militar en b/bermeja Colombia en eso escuche ese lindo sonido del huey h1

[@BADMONTESS]

@@andresfeliperojas9170 Greetings to you Sir, from Utah, United States. I agree with your thoughts, "That nice sound of a Huey", nothing else sounds like it. Your Colombia military, you men had it very tough. Congratulations for serving your country, much ancient history, and you can remember you were one of its warriors.

Used to live near an airbase as a child, the sound of these and the Harvards are like old friends when I hear them today

Best chopper ever built. ❤️ Nothing will ever be able to replace it.

I guess that was actually the inspiration for the main design of all the helicopters we have today. Inspired by nature!

Dragonfly is like...ha that's nothin' i wake up in the morning, take off, and fly all day.

Only thing better than the sound of a UH-1 is the experience and sound of getting to ride in a UH-1. Rode in them 3 times while stationed at Minot AFB in the late 90s
