Any pilots here flown a Huey?
What's it like?
Stories to share?
Instructed in UH-1H's with the US Army.
Still flying them today; UH-1H and Bell Aero UH-1H-II. About 50 hours a year.

Noisy, uncomfortable on long flights, leaks water everywhere when it rains but my prefered helicopter so far. Easy to fly, good utility machine, does it what it suppossed to do without much fuss if you observe the limits.
Huey II: the best so far. Fully loaded, ISA plus 15 deg. C OAT and still plenty of performance for HOGE where we operate.
