I graduated from Rucker class 80-39 back in April of 1981, and to this very day, I still get heart palpitations at the sound of both of these aircraft. Once you've been bitten by the "BUG", there's NO GOING BACK to normal!
...I graduated from 67N class in Rucker in the summer of 1975 - a year after I got back from Germany (as an 11E) - I joined an aviation unit out of Westfield, NJ as was lucky to be sent to Rucker...I still missed the military lifestyle...at 73 I still love the sounds and smells of Hueys (or Loaches) starting up and taking off...
Huey crew chief 1968-75. Best years of my life. The two best aircraft ever. Was helping launch a loach into Laos from Khe Sanh and pilot gestured me closer to say something. Was skid light and it shifted enough to land on toe of my boot for a few seconds as we were talking. A good pinch but no injury. Owed me a beer later. Huey sitting at Ft Fisher MWR museum at Ft Fisher NC. Just rotting away and have tried to get help for it to no avail. See it about once a month.
@PatrickVillers, actually they beat the air into submission…..lol 😂….I worked and flew on commercial versions of these great helos , for the SanDiego Sheriffs dept. Bell B205A1++, Bell 406’s, MD 369, MD 530s….never got old…truly amazing, yes..
Here in Cyprus there is a UN Huey that patrols the green line (cease fire border) on a regular basis and I can hear it coming and passing by. The Hughes due to the 5 bladed rotor has a smoother faster beat and is more versatile and comes past here too.
Part of my childhood was spent in Fort Campbell, (Kentucky, USA). I was in love with the helicopters, and always stopped to watch whenever one or more went flying overhead, (which was all the time). I'm almost 60 now, and to this day, the sound of the two-rotor Bell Huey and Cobra is lovely to me. We also spent time in Ft. Wainwright, AK, and the orange tail on this OH-6 reminds me of the fact that all the CH-47 Chinooks in AK had their transmission housings (whatever they call them) painted orange, even though the rest of the craft was normal olive drab. I always wondered why they used this highly visible color, and no one seemed to know.
Very sweet guys,thank you.I have rode hundreds of miles in the UH1.Utility helicopter #1.OH 6 is a observation helicopter#6 in the series of bell helicopter production models.

The loach the little punk brother that kicked the devil in the shins and the big brothers had to come in and fight the devil cobras and gunshiped hueys I wish I could of been in Vietnam flying on these helicopters doing the job and serving my country thank you to all who served sacrificed everything and gave all for our country and for the ones who were injured maimed hurt and for the ones who did not make it home thanks again for your service
Hi Kevin, could I please use a short extract of this video for a TH-cam video i am creating of top helicopter books- one of them is about an OH-6 Scout Pilot - ‘Low Level Hell’ - and I would like to please use a short clip of the Oh-6 lifting off the pad as a bit of background footage? Obviously you would be credited in the video - if you are happy, could you please let me know, as I would be very grateful Kind Regards, Andrew
@@kjdphoto1971 Hi Kevin, Thank you kindly for the quick reply and permission. I thought that whilst most of the UK is grounded , rather than another view from the cockpit video, instead highlighting some of the fantastic aviation books out there might just be a more inclusive way of ‘scratching that aviation itch’! Take care, Kind Regards, Andrew

very cool footage of some nice matching birds. thank you
I was an engine repairman on UH-1H, AH-1g and OH-6A. B Troop, 7th Squadron, 1st Air Cav. Got to see plenty of real estate in the Delta.
Two amazing aircraft the fact that they create their own lift is truly amazing.

The Bell Huey his sound when the blades reach the speed of sound and start making that distinct sound, .... goosebumps!

Nice flying..... Glad I watched,.
Excellent film footage and sound.
Thank you
Love the sound of the Huey!!

Such a sweet sound.
Love that sound!
That dude flying the Huey has mad skills.
This is the true sound of freedom democracy honor love dedication service sacrifice respect dignity trust loyalty thank you to all who has served
dunno if anyone gives a shit but yesterday I hacked my girl friends Instagram password using Instablaster.
I remember seeing these helicopters in (Then) W.Germany 1983 when I was just a kid. This is a flashback for me
Two of the best pieces of equipment the U.S. Army ever had. Next to the P-38 can opener...

Loach, or OH6 is the fast small one.
As a ex Huey crew chief always fly safe
I love choppers 🚁
Fantástico
Go the Huey 👍

You do know that the USA were the perpetrators in the Vietnam war. You should not praise them.
