I got my first Huey ride in 1963 when only a couple days old - a hospital transfer flight between Heidelburg & Mannheim, I was born 2 months premature weighing 4 lbs 4 ounces (my father was a 1LT stationed in Germany at the time).
Didn't ride in one again until the mid 80's over in Korea while serving in the Army myself as a Chinook crewmember, but maybe that first one is what got me hooked on helicopters
