Been over 22 years
UH-1H Iroquois / Huey - YouTube

Had 486 for 2 years in the Cav. Not once she ever broke down or let me down.

Ft. Hood early 90's

Only 17 years for me, would still love to get back in one again.

Lovely old birds. Most of the aircraft in my logbook are parked outside RSL clubs with a stick up their @rse now, or are in the War Museum in Canberra.

Aren't you glad you're not sitting in them anymore.:\

As a rookie in rotary flight, I've never even sat in one, much less been able to fly one. I know many here flew them in unpleasant circumstances, but I'm still envious.

I am not sure that it would have been quite the same, or the memories quite so fond, without 'the unpleasant circumstances'!
