Ah...they ain’t real pilots! Or maybe I’m just jealous. Probably the latter. I flew UH-1s, OH-58s, and UH-60s for 20 years. Usually less than 200 feet in the air. But yeah, pretty slow. I was always excited the few times I exceeded 160 knots in my Blackhawk...

BTW, I had trouble exceeding 160kts in a C-123 in level flight unless the jets were on.
