of course hanging a .50 out the door instead of an external pylon meant it wasn't a slick either. Don't recall any high speed troop insertions that were flying so fast that wind drag was a problem. Much less the doors off and troops all but hanging out the doors would ever cause drag. But, could be I guess.

Just posted the reason the chopper was called a “slick”...

There’s reasons one was called a “slick” and one was called a “gunship”...

It’s simple as that...
