Ridden in many a Huey front left seat. It's a ton better than the single
one behind the motor.

Very easy. They were obviously not worried about ground fire. Wussies.

It sure made landings from 1500 feet a lot more exciting!

Yes I'm sure it did. We did a lot of low mountain and river flying
though. Weird to be banking hard either way and if sitting as a door
gunner, to be looking at the trees no more than 75 feet below you.

But when I look at it. Compared to the Black Hawk and Apache, the huey
was about as close to a VW bus as you could get.

they were unsophisticated, easy to maintain, and just plain tough.
and for what they were, they did there job rather well.

Yup, they were definitely workhorses.

BTW, thanks for the weather report. Got the leaves up and the
fertilizer down. Let it pour!

Leave the leaves. They make good insulation for the upcoming cold
weather. ;-) We're still having summer weather down here. I can't
believe it.
