Gotta' love the Huey! Such an iconic helicopter with a very uinique sound. And, Andy, you're right, you always know when one is flying around. You can feel & hear them long before you can see them.

I have been fortunate enough to fly in quite a few Bell helicopters - 205, 206, 212, 412...in addition to Hughes, Lamas, and a few others. That sound when a 212 is coming in is unmistakable.

Don't forget to take off your flak jacket to sit on before flying.

Yep, they did have a mighty thin belly. Don't ask how I know, but will say it grounded me for life.

Did get to take the controls one last time in one that a friend rehabbed a few years ago.

My very first aircraft flight of any kind was in a Huey. Shortly after I joined the National Guard, before basic, I was still in civvies, we had a meeting, and used some Hueys out of Holman field in St. Paul for manuevers. What a thrill. This beautiful bird will always be my favorite, followed very closely by a earlier sister, the Bell 47.
