Loved flying in them. Always remember the sound as they came to pick us out of the jungle. Loved riding the skids as we were taken from one place to another. Only landed in hot LZ's in the 46's with the 50's out the window. Used to sit outside Hue and watch the huey's work. Many good memories and many not so good. But I loved them and still hear one once in a while. Rest of my family thinks I nuts, I hear them 30 seconds before they know they are near.....LOL. But those rides and sounds will never go away.
The Men who flew them and the crew I have always admired. I marvel at their dedication to come in hot and pick us out and MedEvac the wounded under intense fire and still get off the ground.
Thank you so much for being there and giving us the very best of yourselves.
