Huey Flight

[@melvinw.quinene841]

This pilot definately knows how to take the huey thru its paces! Huey piloting wizardry here! The huey has always been my favorite helicopter to this day!

[@DMZSLICKCHIEF]

Thanks for the vid, especially the audio! I spent 3 years in the 70's as an Army Crew Chief and Gunner on Slicks (So. Korea - 201st Avn. Co. Assault Helicopter "Red Barons"), I really miss wrenching on them and I especially miss flying. The sound of that old T53 spooling up really takes me home. Thanks again, fly safe.

[@ROUTE-ix4cn]

korean?

[@ericsolo8278]

Want to know about flying Hueys in Vietnam? Read Robert Mason's book Chickenhawk, most enjoyable book I've ever read.

[@RescueFrog]

Another good one is Tom Johnson’s “To the Limit” 67-68 Air Cav pilot

[@stephenbrown913]

Fantastic book, read it three times over the years.

[@Error_404_Account_Deleted]

Great one. Also "To The Limit" by Tom Johnson.

[@Error_404_Account_Deleted]

@@RescueFrog you beat me to it!

[@petehenry7878]

A good book series that looks at Vietnam from the back seat is Chopper1 by Jack Hawkins. I was a Huey crew chief in the late 70's, so I prefer it to stories about pilots. As crew chief's, we could do without pilots, but they couldn't do without us.

[@imachavel]

Oh my god this thing is so powerful. An actual Huey low level flight. They are low enough to stop and utilize ground effect and hover at any time. But wow what amazing power for a helicopter

[@essenergrieche]

i fall in love with the Huey in DCS World (:

[@jamesjr1960]

Loves the sound of the Huey! Adrenaline super rush with our M16's and bag backs in our jungle deployment infantry exercises...💪👍

[@noteimportax6477]

Vietnam vet?

[@bosshogg7470]

I always loved the sound of them approaching to pull us out! lol

[@RedPill05]

What button do you push to play fortunate son?

[@No_fritz01]

Starting to hate that song, why not other Vietnam era songs.

[@seeker2482]

The trigger

[@sterni70]

1:08 ....it's always a good idea to fly low level towards a Flock of Birds

[@vikingdrummer9140]

the bird is the word da da do do do

[@trystanmacdonald9296]

I don’t think you know how hueys work...

[@99Yeti]

Meh they are birds and could easily get out of the way

[@derekhalford187]

As part of flight safety, I would've expected the pilot to avoid flying towards a flock of birds.

[@Sam-w6m5z]

As a H135/H145 pilot with over 22 years of experience i can asure you all……ALWAYS AVOID BIRDS if possible, this pilot clearly knows this airport/area so he knew for sure there are birds……BAD judgement……..and YES……birds can be the cause of a Huey crash. 😖

[@lucasfillman5965]

Where can I sign up?

[@lateuerjackson]

1:40 If you grease the wheels there, the postman won't come xD

[@heathermetz6576]

This was beyond impressive!

[@keylimeking]

Thanks

[@wheezy9043]

I got goosebumps This is what really Vietnam used to sound like

[@ABPhotography1]

loved the speed and quick maneuver. Is the Pilot ex-Military?

[@99Yeti]

This man can fly a irl helicopters high speeds at low level I’m over here struggling on how to turn on a ace combat jet

[@williamloh9018]

Way cool... Is that Flahrida....?

[@My2ndtimearound]

Thanks for the lift.

[@petehenry7878]

Dang the camera angle made it look like he was crabbing it the whole time and I kept saying to myself, right peddle Clyde.

[@gokmensonerguven3796]

Very fast take off

[@robertbowman3406]

I am not a pilot but this pilot hardly used the cyclic at all. The collective stick looked like he hardly even used it.. It must be a great helo to fly and it looks so easy to fly one too.

[@theafi824]

I fly in a lot of helicopters and I know a lot of pilots...the corrections made during flight are often very subtle. Also, I wouldn't say flying a helicopter is easy. Maybe once you're cruising but takeoff and landing can be very difficult.

[@adambernier1155]

you can get a d model to do anything you want with no more movement than a silver dollar.

[@petehenry7878]

The controls (peddles and cyclic) are so sensitive that just thinking about moving the cyclic has the effect of moving the cyclic. Thus, very little movement most of the time. The collective sets your power. You pull enough torque to get you to a hover add a couple/few pounds more torque and you're flying.

[@nachbarnachbarsens7433]

this is crazy. and dope.

[@medln5357]

man the huey looks like its way heavier and more controllable than in dcs, I wonder if you have to twitch like a madman irl to control the huey when trying to be stationary xD

[@GroggyGreg]

If you are lucky you might find an old used microsoft ffb sidewinder2 with a usb plug, with force feedback you can sort of feel the weightso your input becomes less twitchy for a smoother flight.

[@ianchesney9639]

The top apex os simplicity and design. You cannot replace this helicopter it's too dam reliable.

[@claudiocarbone2225]

Totally eargasmic sound ! Get to da choppaa

[@df446]

Thumbs down for the left seat guy filming in portrait orientation. #verticalvideosyndrome

[@hns_203]

Pretty sure that is snapchat, where you want to record in portrait.

[@spaghetti9845]

put the damn phone down and enjoy the ride

[@noteimportax6477]

Balls of steel those one who flew this ones in vietnam what a bullet magnet with that all crystal cockpt

[@nihongo02341]

Florida???

[@sharipuckett6923]

Is this Huey a 205 or a 212 or what? What year was it built in?

[@keylimeking]

UH1H/1964

[@MrDiederich]

Ucking awesome!

[@CSX110]

We be going to Vietnam with this one.

[@schlirf]

Memories...

[@lucasfillman5965]

Let me Go with him please!

[@ryanhruska6667]

I was waiting for Fortunate Son to play 😆😆

[@mcaskil]

florida?

[@mischa8752]

Damn, I'm not allowed to wear my smoking in that thing? What a pity.

[@antoniopossan7359]

Where is the fortunate son switch

[@TheGeorgiaRover]

*Fortunate Son increases* 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@clint81]

Where's the Huey? 😂

[@tackleberry8604]

Does the cyclic auto center, is it non-linear

[@petehenry7878]

It doesn't self-center. There are magnetic brakes called force trim. What the pilot does is set the peddles and cyclic to a desired position (Cyclic usually centered and slightly rear, peddles to whatever is straight flight) then turns on the system. All control movements then go through a force gradient. Which is a spring-loaded push pull tube. Once the system is set the controls work as normal, but if for some reason the pilot's hands or feet come off the controls, the controls return to the point that the force trim was set. The cyclic is nonlinear. It moves via gimbal ring 360 degrees.

[@Actor_bad24IK]

This is how helicopter cockpit video should be...instead of wearing a camera on your head that makes video unsteady

[@Bat21bravo]

Looks like FLA.

[@meierpom]

Bruce Willis with hair

[@josiahmartinez7968]

Why are the top windows green? Just the tint? Or a specific reason?

[@coryboy345]

To keep the sun from shining in the cockpit and disorienting the pilots on sunny days. It's tint.

[@youwillnotknowmyname840]

It’s the greenhouse, it is designed to be punched out in case of the helicopter going down in a crash

[@IsaacBond1234]

Welcome to vietnam

[@alancrust]

Who saw this like an instantly crashing scene after taking off on Battlefield Vietnam video game ?... oh my, what a classic and noob piloting. Great video though

[@davefreet8591]

What do you want? The real life experience. Adrenaline pumping, door gunners firing, sitting with my helmet, 16, aid bag and feet dangling out the door way. No seat belts or cherry seats.

[@thedolphinDog]

Would of liked to see the outside first

[@V8freaks]

instead of enjoying this flight, the passenger sees it thru his phone....

[@GTG1821]

i love uh 1

[@Ostfriese268]

Wow

[@Realroyrogers]

Gator Bait in the Glades

[@tommybomber]

i would scrub it top to bottom using a toothbrush, if someone taught me how to fly one of these.

[@tonisalva2933]

🤤💪💪💪

[@박대영-y5j]

정비사🤔

[@IksinskiTomek]

Very slow ride....

[@kennykewn5182]

Apparently even on powering down, the blades have enough inertia to lift the helo and turn it around!! Bonehead in passenger seat misses experience by filming on phone!!

[@SwingAddict7]

Cocky shit doesn’t keep us hand on the throttle. If the fuel control fails at that low level he may not react fast enough.

[@terrylacey3607]

Looks unrealistic i hope its isint hes a ace pilot

[@denizdogan5087]

Uçurtma uçur daha iyi olur. Bu uçağın iyisin Yok. Kolit konuşması

[@SaraAbdulRahman-r5j]

Turun atas umh asl Dy potong kes great Khali.....Ryan Lewis destroy 101!demi Jesus!now!

[@fernandover9538]

Tucutucutucutucutucututucutucu ...

[@Caninedriver]

Yawn

[@chrismetz1388]

This video sucks..where’s the music..all I hear is a loud helicopter..gezzz

[@jerrymatthews9905]

bruh

[@cheerbearsue]

A lot of people like that sound. They prefer no music, and to be able to listen to the chopper noise, and the engine.

[@nachbarnachbarsens7433]

xD

[@roconnor01]

This is how Huey's sounds?? They don't play 'Fortunate Son' !! Shakes head.

[@tonyt8950]

The pilot looks way to young to be a V-Vet and his NAP of he earth flying is to slow and not low enough. Wannabe’s
