Greetings all,

a set of images of this very important helicopter with millions of take offs done in Vietnam (Vietnam people for sure don't prefer this). Used in many roles and by many operators and here in this few post I will present US use.

Nice pictures! When I was in ROTC I got a couple of flights in a Huey, it was pretty cool, especially sitting in the gunners seats on the side, you could look down past your toes all the way to the ground, it was spring time so we flew with the doors open.

Hi Sall,
Reserve Officers Traing Corp = ROTC it is a head start for for persons wanting a career in the armed forces, some high schools have it and many colleges have it here in the States, also got as flight in a KC-135, was great except it was Febuary, verrrrry cold, the APU in the back of the fuselage put out more noise than heat. Refueled a couple of B-52's from Griffis AFB, that was cool too.

That is how it would have looked, except the KC-135 was grey, and the Buff was in camo. A few years ago I got to spend an afternoon flying the KC-135 simulator at Pease ANG Base, now that was truly awesome!
