Yep. I have had the pleasure of flying the UH-1, OH-58, UH-60 and The AH-64. I even have a couple of front seat hours in the AH-1 Cobra. Flown around in and jumped out of plenty of CH-47s, but never sat at the controls. My time ran out.... Always wanted to fly the MD-80, which is essentially the modern version of the OH-6. A very nimble and survivable bird in a crash sequence..
Sure do miss turning JP8 into noise and beating the air into submission..

HA, I probably have more front seat hours in the AH-1G doing avionics test flights than you!

A/C said his intercom would cut out during high speed nose-down attacks, so I said "show me". He did and it was a FUN RIDE!

I live near an Army base now and about 5 years ago I heard my last UH-1 'wop-wop' overhead, never to be seen here again. Now it's only those blasted Blackhawks, no more 2 rotor blade Huey sounds. 😢😢
