My dad did 2 tours in Vietnam- in 66-67 as an ARVN advisor, then in 68-69 with the 101st. 30 years later in 1999 as an ROTC cadet I was able to catch a ride on a Virgina ARNG UH-1 from Fort AP Hill to a University of Richmond athletic field. One of the most memorable helo rides of my life.
With over 1,100 military flight hours in Huey’s, the start-up was always exciting as it led to the joy of my life. Age and medical disabilities keep me on the ground today after 36 years in the military, and 22 of those years flying. HOOAH.
When seeing Huey & hearing the sound of Huey , it reminds me about those old days flying with American troops to the combat zones. I had a chance to take a trip from Ai Tu Air field to Sarge fire base near Khe Sanh with one of the American team advisor back in 1972 , this fire base was occupied by one of South VN Marine unit , luckily we got the oder to fly back Dong Ha in the evening otherwise we would have been hit with 122 mm rockets launched by the NVA that night . I would like to say thanks & appreciations to all American service members who had served in VN to help us defend the South . The result was disappointed but will never forget your contributions.

come to florida. The forestry service only use the Huey for all forest fires using a bambi bucket. When they fly within a few miles of my house I always go out and watch them fly by. I always recognize that throaty engine sound from 21 years with them
I served in Vietnam, that was a work horse, It took us on all our missions, carried supplies, and wounded, I'll never forget the sound of them pounding the sky to pick us up
There is a lot of Huey videos out there, but this one really gets the sound right. I know because I was in Vietnam at the 241st Trans Co. , one of two helicopter support units in Vietnam.

Dude the thump of a 2 blade huey never gets old to me. The 4 bladed ones just dont have the same sound. That deep "thwomp thwomp" you feel in your chest!
I’ve only seen these wonderful helicopters in movies or videos I wasn’t around in he 70s when these were popular but I know they were the most durable helicopters out there maybe someday I’ll see one up close what a wonderful peice of aviation history
Be on the lookout for an organization called Friends Of The Army aviation they tour with one and for 75 dollars they'll take you on a ride you'll never forget
*Better" is a subjective term. No doubt the many different permutations of the Bell is the most successful helo ever. I used to drive Bell 212, I'd say it's got one thing making it "better" than a Huey. But with "workhorse" aircrafts, there really isn't much scope for making them better than they were.in the 60's. Aerodynamics and the forces of nature are the parameters for the designs, and has not changed. That's why the Bell, Charlie-130 & the Cessna Skyhawk still looks like they did in the 60's, and they are all the most successful aircrafts in their particular field. But none of them can be declared best.
The us equivalent of the British spitfire from ww2. Both are beautiful functional and dashing aircraft that have captured the imagination and hearts of the world. Superb Huey ❤

Merci pour la précision. Grand admirateur du Bell Huey, je me suis toujours demandé ce qu'était ce "clic, clic, clic,..." lorsque démarre la turbine. Maintenant grâce à vous je sais que c'est un allumeur qui fait ce bruit caractéristique ! Merci...
I spent 7+ years in the UH-1. There are other helicopters faster, with more flight endurance, can give a more comfortable ride, offer better crash "resistance", but none are, all things considered, "better" than the Huey.
As a former Huey Crew Chief, I would just to like to say this video is BO-RING! I was in Medevac, VIP, Ash/Trash and Troop Lift units. Never did I need to spend more than 60 seconds on start-up checks; EVERYTHING was already verified on the last flight's daily or current day's Preflight.
Good copy there... Have also taken off evac to a hot range with the fcu not wired down and hit 180 kts in a hard bank. But we don't talk about that shit...
My Dad and his brother both served USMC 1966 my dad did short runway launch and recover with the F4 and my uncle was a crew chief on the on the 46 and piloted a Huey. Thank you for your service.
When I hear the sound of this helicopter it reminds me of my youth when I was a parachutist and we jumped from these helicopters in Venezuela when this country was a democracy in the seventies and I will never forget the sound of these helicopter blades. some pleasant memories of this time.
In my unit in RVN, we flew without the cabin doors and often times even the cargo doors were removed. . I mostly flew D models but later in my tour we began to get H models. They were a big improvement in power and lift capability..
What is the inspection panel used for at start up? Or... What are the two guys outside looking for or doing while it starts up? They appear to use some instrument ...my guess is monitoring the temperatures or watching for a hot start?
@@MsTheCops He's looking at the engine from that panel.. It's spring loaded in the closed position.. The engine oil tank is also visible from that side.. That crewman is making a big mistake in the manner of his inspection.. Someone inside the cargo bay could slide that cargo door to the rear while the crewman was holding the inspection panel open, severing his fingers.. We would press our right forearms against the rear of the cargo door to feel if it was being opened and if so we would get out fingers off that inspection panel.. The crewmen are looking for an engine fire.. On the left side, they can see the fuel control.. Most likely he is holding a fire extinguisher in his hands.. It looks a bit small but it is red..
@@barsoom43 Hey ...thanks for the prompt reply. I see what you mean with the door. On another video concerning a SAR UH-1 ...the crewman was pointing an instrument into the panel that was tethered in the cargo bay via a curly cable ...where he returned it after starting up. Do you still fly?
@@MsTheCops No, I am retired.. I flew for the Army for 30 years, active but mostly reserves.. While a reservist, I also flew as an air ambulance pilot- B206, BK117, EC145.. That EC145 was the finest helicopter I ever flew but the UH-1 holds a special place in my heart.. I have 13K flying hours over 43 years with 1100 combat in the Huey.. I arrived in the combat zone at age 19 and left 11 months later for the hospital in Okinawa due to injuries from a power turbine failure coming out of a hole in the jungle.
@@barsoom43 Y'all got my respect mister ...& thank you for your service. We love & respect our Veterans in this house! I held a PPL in Canada ...got all of 36 hours on my old logbook in a Piper Tomahawk ...they were popular trainers long ago. Flying was an expensive hobby ...so I did some gliding. But work, houses, cars & life took up all the time I had. So flying is a dream that never came true for me.

(S.D.R WRITING) The most ICONIC LOOKING & SOUNDING HELICOPTER in the world. I hope it flies for decades or maybe even centuries to come. KEEP ON FLYING BOYS & GIRLS.
Im an old 82nd Airborne Paratrooper. I made a jump from A UH-1H at Ft Bragg NC, Sicily Drop Zone. Unbelievable!!!! It was fantastic having your feet dangle off the edge of the door bay. There are 2 Sounds in this world that are UNMISTAKABLE: 1) The racking of a Pump 12 Gauge Shotgun, and 2)..... THE HUEY!!!😇❤️😇❤️😇❤️😇
I was fortunate to have several hundred jumpers, not all at once, jump from Huey's I was flying during my career. For the pilot, when all would jump at the same time, the aircraft would rise up significantly, but we had to also make sure not to over compensate and settle down into a jumper.
In my 30 year Army career, beginning in 1969, I logged several hundred hours in a UH-1 (numerous models). I had the misfortune to ride one into the ground, but the good fortune to walk away with the crew. What an airframe.
I was there in 68 with the 1st air cave division I can listen to the chopper all day long nothing better than that sound. We flew into combat zone with 50 of these birds combat loaded you guys have the big balls.
Amazing takeoff I love this kind of beast not too fancy but simple I want to be a owner of one in the future I'm going to had another before takeoff to fight school this is my passion my love for aviation I'm now doing studies I can start it whenever I want it was a gift that was given to me that's part of my blessing .
We did a lot of helicopter insertion / extractions down in Panama (77-79 B 3/5 193rd Inf. Bde.). Those ended up being the fondest days of my 9 years in the US Army. Never knew it then but the Huey rides were coming to an end as the Black Hawks started showing up. To this day I get misty eyed when I hear a Huey inbound or doing a fly by. The forest service was just using 1 on a fire here in Utah. I now have 3 videos of it coming and going. Just something about that sound and what went with it back in the day. Jumping off of them with your alice pack, blaster and getting off the lz and setting up a perimeter. We even did the Stabo rig, 3 of us suspended side by side under the Huey with the end guys having their outside arm outstretched to stop us from spinning. Then we would be flown out over the pacific for about 10 min. then returned back to the jungle training site. God I miss those days. Recently started drinking from my 2 qt. canteen again just for the plastic taste. It too is a memory. Did you ever give thought that you had taken your last canteen drink? I yearn for some return of those nasty, prickly heat, mosquito infested, black palm days and at least this I can control, a simple little canteen, take a drink with your eyes closed and for 1-100,00th of a second I'm back in the jungle. Hard to believe I have been out for 35 years, OMG, I was in for 09 years 73-83 and did not understand those memories would haunt me as the greatest days of my life. No one out here has your back like your buddies had it. Live on Huey, live on you big bad bird!!

Your Colombia military, you men had it very tough. Congratulations for serving your country, much ancient history, and you can remember you were one of its warriors.
I love it. I am used to this machine for many botanical field excursions in the jungles of Brunei. They used the one with double engines. Great flying experience over jungles, river valleys and mountain tops. Great machine. I was on the Black Hawk as well. Awesome. But the one I enjoyed most was the Volco. Really superb.
Looove the HUEY ! ... I have actually ben fortunate to be a passenger with one of these fantastic helicopters ..When I did Swe Army Tour of duty.. up North.. in Sweden, 94

Damn my ears, the Huey's sound so amazing it's worth watching at full volume! Bell knows how to make some super quality helicopters.
S kate likhe dibo ay ay 5.
God that sound brings back so many memories
Always respect a war veteran and say thank you
Fly, Huey , fly , up up to the Sky .......
Huey will never be replaced!
Best chopper ever built. ❤️ Nothing will ever be able to replace it.
I spent 7+ years in the UH-1. There are other helicopters faster, with more flight endurance, can give a more comfortable ride, offer better crash "resistance", but none are, all things considered, "better" than the Huey.
I mean, the Bell 212, 412, UH-1Y, Mi-8/17 family, Aérospatiale Puma/Oryx/Super Puma/Cougar family **are** in every conceivable way...
Being able to fly in these is awesome man, love it.
As a former Huey Crew Chief, I would just to like to say this video is BO-RING! I was in Medevac, VIP, Ash/Trash and Troop Lift units. Never did I need to spend more than 60 seconds on start-up checks; EVERYTHING was already verified on the last flight's daily or current day's Preflight.
Good copy there... Have also taken off evac to a hot range with the fcu not wired down and hit 180 kts in a hard bank. But we don't talk about that shit...
What the heck is that crew chief doing some kind of kabuki dance ?
By the time they lifted off it was time to refuel.
Ya know some of us just really love the sound of it....that's why I'm here at least
My Dad and his brother both served USMC 1966 my dad did short runway launch and recover with the F4 and my uncle was a crew chief on the on the 46 and piloted a Huey. Thank you for your service.
just beautiful!!! lol the dragon fly
When I hear the sound of this helicopter it reminds me of my youth when I was a parachutist and we jumped from these helicopters in Venezuela when this country was a democracy in the seventies and I will never forget the sound of these helicopter blades. some pleasant memories of this time.
Still a democracy...
Yes
In my unit in RVN, we flew without the cabin doors and often times even the cargo doors were removed. . I mostly flew D models but later in my tour we began to get H models. They were a big improvement in power and lift capability..
What is the inspection panel used for at start up? Or... What are the two guys outside looking for or doing while it starts up? They appear to use some instrument ...my guess is monitoring the temperatures or watching for a hot start?
@@MsTheCops He's looking at the engine from that panel.. It's spring loaded in the closed position.. The engine oil tank is also visible from that side.. That crewman is making a big mistake in the manner of his inspection.. Someone inside the cargo bay could slide that cargo door to the rear while the crewman was holding the inspection panel open, severing his fingers.. We would press our right forearms against the rear of the cargo door to feel if it was being opened and if so we would get out fingers off that inspection panel.. The crewmen are looking for an engine fire.. On the left side, they can see the fuel control.. Most likely he is holding a fire extinguisher in his hands.. It looks a bit small but it is red..
@@barsoom43 Hey ...thanks for the prompt reply. I see what you mean with the door. On another video concerning a SAR UH-1 ...the crewman was pointing an instrument into the panel that was tethered in the cargo bay via a curly cable ...where he returned it after starting up. Do you still fly?
@@MsTheCops No, I am retired.. I flew for the Army for 30 years, active but mostly reserves.. While a reservist, I also flew as an air ambulance pilot- B206, BK117, EC145.. That EC145 was the finest helicopter I ever flew but the UH-1 holds a special place in my heart.. I have 13K flying hours over 43 years with 1100 combat in the Huey.. I arrived in the combat zone at age 19 and left 11 months later for the hospital in Okinawa due to injuries from a power turbine failure coming out of a hole in the jungle.
@@barsoom43 Y'all got my respect mister ...& thank you for your service. We love & respect our Veterans in this house! I held a PPL in Canada ...got all of 36 hours on my old logbook in a Piper Tomahawk ...they were popular trainers long ago. Flying was an expensive hobby ...so I did some gliding. But work, houses, cars & life took up all the time I had. So flying is a dream that never came true for me.
Sweet Jesus thats the best sound ever.......
Dragonfly at 6:13 was like "wtf was that?"
@@prg2812 na he was like pff humans need a heli to fly i was born with wings.
No no no. The best sound ever is an A-10 warthog. Look it up.
dragonfly at 6:10 "im just jealous & checking this out making sure everything is ok"
The power in that engine
Stuff of legends
1900 shaft horsepower i I remember correctly from my time in Vietnam as a lead mechanic
I love the sound..
That's one of the most thorough airframe preflight checks I've ever seen on a Huey. Only in Japan.
Same here.
Gotta keep those babies flying!
Absolutely , I have never seen same b4
come to florida. The forestry service only use the Huey for all forest fires using a bambi bucket. When they fly within a few miles of my house I always go out and watch them fly by. I always recognize that throaty engine sound from 21 years with them
Nothing like Nam, two old guys in my hometown were Huey pilots during Vietnam.
ヘリコプター最高ですね。飛び上がる寸前のエンジン音が大好きです。
(S.D.R WRITING) The most ICONIC LOOKING & SOUNDING HELICOPTER in the world. I hope it flies for decades or maybe even centuries to come.
KEEP ON FLYING BOYS & GIRLS.
Im an old 82nd Airborne Paratrooper. I made a jump from A UH-1H at Ft Bragg NC, Sicily Drop Zone. Unbelievable!!!! It was fantastic having your feet dangle off the edge of the door bay.
There are 2 Sounds in this world that are UNMISTAKABLE: 1) The racking of a Pump 12 Gauge Shotgun, and 2)..... THE HUEY!!!😇❤️😇❤️😇❤️😇
I was fortunate to have several hundred jumpers, not all at once, jump from Huey's I was flying during my career. For the pilot, when all would jump at the same time, the aircraft would rise up significantly, but we had to also make sure not to over compensate and settle down into a jumper.
I served in the 71st Aviation in Vietnam in 1968. Great helicopter
Hats off, and thank you !!
Thank you for your Service Sir
My Brother was there the same time.
@@vinpasvipas1741 how about you go find an m16 from a brave young man in the forest and just think about it for a minute, asshole
@@eddie_23 you smelth
The unmistakable sound of the huey!!!
In my 30 year Army career, beginning in 1969, I logged several hundred hours in a UH-1 (numerous models). I had the misfortune to ride one into the ground, but the good fortune to walk away with the crew. What an airframe.
Fantastic audio. Bravo sir! 🇯🇵👍🏻
I was there in 68 with the 1st air cave division I can listen to the chopper all day long nothing better than that sound. We flew into combat zone with 50 of these birds combat loaded you guys have the big balls.
Robert m printed the above
That sound brings back Memories
me too USS Tripoli
@@yanni2112 GTA Vice City ;)
Love the sound.
That sound is unmistakable. Love it
Amazing takeoff I love this kind of beast not too fancy but simple I want to be a owner of one in the future I'm going to had another before takeoff to fight school this is my passion my love for aviation I'm now doing studies I can start it whenever I want it was a gift that was given to me that's part of my blessing .
Iconic sound. Epic. That's what a helicopter is supposed to sound like. Anything else is just an imitation.
I was a 67N on the wonderful UH1!
I was too ft hood Texas
3/507 Med.Co.(AA) Gray Airfield, June 1979 - Sep.1981, our radio call sign back then was "Lifesaver". Privileged to serve.
We did a lot of helicopter insertion / extractions down in Panama (77-79 B 3/5 193rd Inf. Bde.). Those ended up being the fondest days of my 9 years in the US Army. Never knew it then but the Huey rides were coming to an end as the Black Hawks started showing up. To this day I get misty eyed when I hear a Huey inbound or doing a fly by. The forest service was just using 1 on a fire here in Utah. I now have 3 videos of it coming and going. Just something about that sound and what went with it back in the day. Jumping off of them with your alice pack, blaster and getting off the lz and setting up a perimeter. We even did the Stabo rig, 3 of us suspended side by side under the Huey with the end guys having their outside arm outstretched to stop us from spinning. Then we would be flown out over the pacific for about 10 min. then returned back to the jungle training site. God I miss those days. Recently started drinking from my 2 qt. canteen again just for the plastic taste. It too is a memory. Did you ever give thought that you had taken your last canteen drink? I yearn for some return of those nasty, prickly heat, mosquito infested, black palm days and at least this I can control, a simple little canteen, take a drink with your eyes closed and for 1-100,00th of a second I'm back in the jungle. Hard to believe I have been out for 35 years, OMG, I was in for 09 years 73-83 and did not understand those memories would haunt me as the greatest days of my life. No one out here has your back like your buddies had it. Live on Huey, live on you big bad bird!!
Saludos cordiales desde Bogotá Colombia 🇨🇴 yo recuerdo cuando presté servicio militar en b/bermeja Colombia en eso escuche ese lindo sonido del huey h1
@@andresfeliperojas9170 Greetings to you Sir, from Utah, United States. I agree with your thoughts, "That nice sound of a Huey", nothing else sounds like it. Your Colombia military, you men had it very tough. Congratulations for serving your country, much ancient history, and you can remember you were one of its warriors.
The sound of the Huey engine, is exactly like that of a lister Petter. Amazing
Yeah, only thing is a soundtrack. I used to hum The Stones' Paint it Black, long before Steven King nicked the idea...
For not flying, they saved my ass numerous times between 1967 and 1969.👍
Those rotors really roared! They surely remind my flights!
Even in the modern era of aviation the huey is an amazing bird, one of my favorites. Awesome video!
I was too young, but every time I hear one I think about you guys. And I thank you! Sounds like freedom. I am sure many other things.
Most iconic sound. We use them here (Australia) for rescue, well a derivative of this chopper and you can hear them coming from miles away…
one of the best huey sound on youtube
I love it. I am used to this machine for many botanical field excursions in the jungles of Brunei. They used the one with double engines. Great flying experience over jungles, river valleys and mountain tops. Great machine. I was on the Black Hawk as well. Awesome. But the one I enjoyed most was the Volco. Really superb.
Terbaik bos, selalukah bos terbang dengan huey ini....
@@sazaliismail7492 y
As a medic I feel how it must be as a crew chief..mmm thanks for lifting us out
Looove the HUEY ! ... I have actually ben fortunate to be a passenger with one of these fantastic helicopters ..When I did Swe Army Tour of duty.. up North.. in Sweden, 94
This video made the hair on my arms stand up. I was a door gunner on one these during the Vietnam war and the only thing missing is the smell of JP4 fuel burning. JOB WELL DONE.
To weird to see that Dragon Fly come into view just as the Huey lifts off!!
The one and only true helicopter,,,right sound and the looks,,,my oh my,,,,,,
Too f'kn right.
This was the very first helo whose sound I memorized from childhood. It also gave me the Aviation "bug"
군대생활때 UH 1H 를 타본 경험으론
하늘을 날라 다니는 것 자체로 기분
좋은일 물론 역 2시간 타고 복귀 할때는
8 시간 이상 해야 되는 수고를 했지요 .
