"Huey"
UH-1 A and B models...chipped paint and dirty green, pocked with bullet holes, and wrapped in duct tape (the old green kind)...around blades, window corners (to stop water leaks) and over broken instrument holes. Young and "bullet proof" we pulled the guts out of the engines and transmissions, never really understanding or worried about limits. In spite of this these venerable old aircraft (well they weren't then) hauled us out each day and brought us home a night. The ones shot out from under me let me survive the crash and fly another day. What a wonderful helicopter. Thank you Bell Helicopter.
