Helmet Fire, I remember that list you posted above, very good. Another pretty amusing 'publication' that used to be popular among the 9, 5, 35 SQN rotorhead fraternity, and elsewhere, was the 'Seagull' or 'Eagle' codes, don't know if you've run across them.
You could transmit the word 'Seagull' plus a 3 figure number, and see the other formation crew members hurriedly consulting their list to see which piece of abuse you had just sent them.
Some good examples were:

"You sir, can f**K right off!" (Seagull 500, as I recall).

"If it don't fit, overpitch it!"

"I love the f**King Air Force, and the Air Force loves f**king me!"

And one of my personal favourites - "Seagull 571!" (Show us your t*ts!)

One thing about Hueys, you could be assured that people flying just about any other type would come out with 'Yeah, I'd love to have a go at flying them.'

And fair enough too, what a classic and excellent machine.
