Description
The first combat operation of the UH-1 was in the service of the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. The original designation of HU-1 led to the helicopter's nickname of Huey. In September 1962, the designation was changed to UH-1, but "Huey" remained in common use. Approximately 7,000 UH-1 aircraft saw service in Vietnam.

Great work. It's because of the Huey that I tend to say "What?" on a regular basis (can't hear so well anymore). L/F

Great Image, a long time ago I got a ride in one of these machines, way better than going to an amusement park, I love your technique LF
