    Thumbs up The B-17 of Helicopters!

    There is a Post on www.youtube.com called ( Lost Vietnam War Helicopters) It was reposted, as the first one I guess was closed out. . It is a very well done Video, Profiles the famous UH-1 (Huey) Helicopter which went all the way up to UH1Y before being Retired by the U.S.M.C. in 2019. It may have not been, an awesome Armored Gunship, like the AH-64, but being as Rugged as she Surely was, certainly was the B-17 of Helicopters. The Music in the Soundtrack is awsome, I can' post the Video here, but if you have the ability to do so, please do. Paul

    May God bless the Crew shot down by the SAM 7 Missile at the beginning of the Video.

    Thank you Otto for Posting this for me. YouTube does not let me post anything anymore. I guess there is a fee for that. Paul

    As far as the hueys go, I tear up everytime I see that vid of them being pushed over the side of ships to make room for more of the evacuation. What a sad era. They were a wonderful aircraft along with the AH1.
