Same pilot/Huey
« on: November 23, 2018, 09:58:28 AM »
This pilot flew this Huey, 407, in vietnam as a Dustoff Pilot. He flew the snot out of it last month fire fighting in California.

Both the aircraft and the man are still soldiering on 50 years after they first met.

Hats off and a Salute to both of them!

Something magical about that bird. Did I mention I love flying Hueys?

Pretty cool. Both of them.

It's a shame we can't get cars to last that long,  especially with the abuse that that Huey has went through.
