Seems there is life in the Huey series we did not know about......

I hope so Sasless.

Two of mine are 50 this year, one of them is 50 in a couple of years, and I would like to think I'll be flying them until they are 75 at least. I guess it will be up to my kids after that to see if they will last another 25 years....

Still nothing made these days that can do the job as well for the same price.

Many believe that when the last Blackhawk is retired to the desert, the crew will fly home in a Huey.:ok:
