[PROCON]

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. 😢😢

You said it. Waiting at the LZ as an eagle flight lands as a group. The Hueys all flaring for a landing and the music of the blades is deafening, you feel the ground shake and your insides quivering to the beat of the rotors. Yep, those were the days that being an Air Mobile Infantryman existed. Is it weird to sometimes miss them ?.

Nothing like that sound...

That sound reverberates and moves the chest, and is unmistakable, even prior to sighting.Gives me goose pimples still, fifty one years later!
