UH-1 take off

[@michaelbishop8952]

I was a door gunner in Vietnam. Aug 69 to Jan 71. Never saw a huey that clean in my entire tours. Must be training battalion. No other sound like that of hueys. Brings back many memories. Thanks for the video

[@hugebartlett1884]

I read a book called "Chickenhawk" a few years ago,and if I remember correctly the Warrant Officer under training said there were eighty four switches to check before starting up.What a fantastic sound the Huey makes though!

Great audio! One of the best Huey starts on KZbin 2:53. Thanks for sharing!

[@Turliss]

All on the top are DC and AC Buses or fuses the ones on the center panel are the radio boxes depends on what all is installed on the aircraft (VHF, VHR, etc...) the ones on the top towards the front are engine controls, hydraulic controls, and electrical controls (such as APU pump, main generator) but they should have a check list every start up. - from a UH60 Crewchief, welcome =D

I don't know anything about airfield procedure for helicopters but I love how they just kinda hover-taxi to the runway instead of taking off straight up.

[@electrolytics]

That must be procedure for this airport. Many airports and bases don't like aircraft just taking off willy-nilly all over the place.

[@javacup912]

Nice video. This must be a militarized version of the Bell 205, or an upgraded UH-1 because the H model Hueys I flew in the 70's and 80's, had the tail rotor on the left. Other than the two digital display nav units on the pedestal, which of course, we didn't have back then, looks the same Huey. Either way, brought back some long gone memories. Thanks for sharing.

[@Ch1n4Sailor]

Not only that, I would bet $100,000 this Helo was manufactured under license by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries...(or one of the Mitsubishi partners) The Japanese never buy any of our stuff, just pay the minimum for the license to build. But still single engine...? Didn't the Army (at least the U.S. Army) do away with Single Engine Huey's..? nI wasn't in the service until 85, but the only Huey's I rembered seeing back then (at least until early 90's) were dual engine AF & Army, and I've never seen any Marine Huey's that weren't dual engine... Matter of fact, the Navy completely did away with all single engine a/c in the mid-80's, Blue-Water ops & all... You can always limb home on one engine. You are retired Army (U.S.?) thank you for your service! I am also retired Mil....

[@scwhk1]

Ch1n4Sailor Its actually made by Fuji. (the company that made Subaru)

[@scott6504]

Still the same chopper. It's like the Chinese and their MiGs. All are fine aircraft built by very skilled people.

[@spearheadinc]

In Hueys, the tail rotor changes its position from left to right every other season. BTW, originally from which side was it installed?

[@mnr497]

+spearhead.inc: Originally, they were on the left.

[@charlesevans1872]

I was in the 101st Airborne in 74-75. Took door gunner training in them. Our pilots were all Viet Nam vets and would give you the ride of your life. They lived to fly and they flew just like they did in Nam (train for how you will fight). Later I became a military journalist and flew in Hueys to cover stories. I'd rather fly in a Huey than fuck.

[@MandoRick1978]

It is a good idea to fall in with the traffic pattern else someone might just fly into you. So you tend to obey the same rules as fixed wing machines especially at airports that accommodate both fixed wing and rotor wing. In many cases you can simply fly directly in or out and in many cases you cannot.

[@slopappy]

I don't understand all of the fiddling with the throttle. US Army pilots could get a Huey started and airborne pretty damn quick, especially in Vietnam. Combat emergency launch...60 seconds from starter button press to getting skids off the ground. Otherwise, I enjoy hearing these old sounds again.

[@Mythricia1988]

Pretty simply answer; This isn't war. They take a lot more time for safety checks. There's no hurry, so.... why hurry. I'm not saying war pilots didn't care about safety, but they certainly had a different set of priorities. You can read a lot of examples of this in books like Chickenhawk - while the pilots and mechanics certainly cared about safety, there were also many examples of fatal accidents happening due to not taking *enough* care.

[@nvdwarriorLtc]

Bob, remember they didn't give us the abrieviated checklist in the army until the early 80's. Who really cared about the AC bus check anyway? It finally became a lot quicker starting them when they took all the maintenance checks out of our operational checklist. Still love the sound.....

Very few switches get flipped and very few buttons get pushed. You will see him going over all the buttons and switches in a specific order as part of his startup procedure. We have startup procedures to ensure we dont miss anything or worse cause damage to the machine which might result in loss of life during flight.

[@rcrocker02]

@ScouttheDoggieFan well here it looks like they just took their time.. no rush or anything... relaxing flight.. but if it were for an emergency im sure theyd probably hurry up and do things as fast as they can safely do them.

[@TheBlackstag1]

@firecrackerpackman Mate, all airports have designated routes in and out. This ensures the aircraft are in the best possible position in the even of an emergency during take off or landing.

People from Taiwan are technically Chinese (hell, they even call themselves the Republic of China) and their air force and army use Hueys. But you are correct, these appear to be Japanese Hueys.

Isn't making an aircraft that can take off straight up go to the runway kind of defeating the purpose?
