toobadsosad...Spent a year at Muther Rucker?? Must be a new kid on the block. Also must have been set back a few times as the class is not that long.
Further it does not take that long to learn to fly a Huey.....even in the U.S. Army.
If its in the initial flight training, its just a transition and I guess they are now using the TH-67 instead of the OH-58. Same dam thing, just a change of words between Bell and the Army.
In the real world transition to other aircraft do not require the gestation period of an Elephant. If one is a comercially rated Pilot with experience, transition can be done in a day or so. Its done like that all over the world.
I also have Huey Manuals, Cobra Manuals, Kiowa Manuals and all the A-Star series through EC-120, EC-130B4 and Maintenance Manuals. They can now be had on CD-ROM, if anyone is interested my email works............
