I dunno. So many of them in Vietnam... must be sort of useless. How didn't US control the air space and smash Vietcong to pieces with so many of them?
The CH 146 Griffin is the child of the Huey and is still a great aircraft. The pick up truck of combat helicopters. Cheap, capable, reliable. Basicly the good old Huey with 2 engines.
"The Huey took the multi-role concept to the limit and beyond: utility, med-evac, gunship, and transport. It certainly stands as a vehicle ahead of its time."
@71SuperSportChevelle What I was trying to say is that a Cadillac, although admittably better than a VW, is not all that great. But I do agree with you that the CTS-V is one badass looking car! :)
@Awesomechild96 Lol you are out of your mind if you would take a volkswagen over a Cadillac, Cadillact CTS-V>>>>>>>>> anything VW has ever produced...
@joseft30, as a Huey fan, UH-1 Huey is a very great helicopter actually. Only thing bad about it against modern helicopters is that a basic UH-1 Huey with only one engine can't carry as much loads of supplies unlike many modern helicopters. But UH-1's are a easy, reliable, and much much more.
this chopper is unbelievable too man this chopper shot down our very own russian an1 biplane during the vietnam war i cant believe it a helicopter shoots down a fight biplane?
the reason we didnt win in vietnam was all the damn assholes in washington, not letting our boys do a proper job, the same way obama if messing up iraq
@boats752, dude Iraq is mainly over. We took down the Genocide Government, gave them a strong police force which can handle it's own crimes, deal with most street crimes, build thousands of schools hospitals, and send tons of health efforts over there there's nothing else to do there's just rebels around now which every country has them. We won it already, we mainly won it when we took over capital after that we were fixing the country. There's no need for Iraq anymore.
thats true matt i even remembered my wife's father who said to me when the americans are still in vietnam theyre almost winning but the civilians in america wanted the american soldiers to withdraw thats the whole story of the vietnam war unlike in afghanistan we russians really lost
i flew with 82nd med-a-vac in nam for two years from 67-69,if it had not been for the uh-1d's,i believe that our death toll would have gone way over the 100,000 count,these air craft saved a lot of lives as well as help kill a butt load of the enemy....hhhhhhhooooooooooooaaaaaa its funny but today i have a love for the vietmames people i never thought id ever have..
Love that sound! But i imagine that to the grunts down in the "shit" in Vietnam, it had to sound like all of heaven's angels singing at once when you heard them flying in to get you out of the hell hole you're in. I live close to an air base that has a few hueys, I hear them flying over my house from time to time.
great helicopter...probably only one that truly deserves to be where it is on this list based on the wide spectrum of aircraft covered...pioneering, versatile, still used after almost 50 years
one of the best choppers ever built. it was years ahead of its time when it entered service back in the sixtys and there is still loads in frotline service threw out the world today . got a flight in a Bell 212 civilian version of UH1N when i was a kid and i loved it.
@ArticCat66 the 1 thing that would make it alot better is 4 rotors instead of 2.... but other than that..i love it, and i always will. It will always be the top chopper lol
I guess depends on the car. VW bug to Cadillac CTS is like... yea huge upgrade. There are no cheap Cadillacs. They're luxury cars no necessarily performance.
dude the reason is that we have better helicopters we commemorated the UH-1 because it is ONE of the best helicopters ever used. im an American and i agree with the No.3 spot and am happy the UH-1 in on it.
Dude we didnt get our assed kicked by the Vietnamese. we got our ass kicked to get out of vietnam by the civilians. We coudlve won but too man were dying and the Vietnam was a Stalemate the North Vietnamese lost more than us we just would be in a revolution if we didnt leave
how would they ever even know how many VC were killed? did they count the bodies? ya, sure they did. guess you could say, all those names on the wall got their asses kicked, all the guy lives destroyed, by that war got their asses worse then kicked, they still live it every day of their lives. its easy to talk shit on your keyboard, when you don't know what war really is. remember we LOST that police action.
In Vietnam? because Americans *didn't* get their asses handed to them, they did exceptionally well. In fact the kill ratios there were unprecedented. It wasn't until after the peace treaty was signed and US left that North decided to break it and invade South again and that's how it was lost. If we knew that was gonna happen and stayed another year it would have clearly been a win.
If US was defeated in Vietnam War, it was by American media/politicians or trusting N. Vietnam with ceasefire.
@BigMatt5290 Winning would have meant genocide though. The North Vietnamese would not have capitulated. They were fighting for their freedom from colonial powers - they would've fought till the last man.
@BigMatt5290 With the billions of weapons and technology you still lost to a bunch of Poorly armed Farmers and Communist Freedom fighters lol you should be ashamed of yourself.
@InfantryFodder93 Poorly Armed? They had SAMs, AK-47's, and others supplies supplied by the Communists so they weren't poorly armed. They fought Guerrilla Warfare which was one of our first times to experience it used upon us. We thought we were fighting a conventional war for a long time. In no way were they poorly armed or commanded. They were a very organized Country. And it wasnt really a Freedom Fighter kind of thing since they split into North and South so it was a invasion of the South.
@BigMatt5290 in vietnam you were winning that war comrade by 1967 the nva suffered heavy losses thats why they launched tet as their last hope but you broked their offensive in vietnam you did not lose it in the battlefields you won most of the battles and secured most of the grounds :) a comment from russia in vietnam you lost politically but militarily you did not
@dimitboris Good education. Americans and me know that it was lost political grounds, Unlike some people who think that US troops get it's assed kicked.
@publicmario17 about in vietnam by 1967 the nva were really in a losing war when u.s. fought actively :) and thats why the nva launched tet but failed misserably those guys who think u.s.a. lost in vietnam militarily fuck off stop putting retarded comments in tet it was a clear american victory the nva and vc attempts were crushed :) in afghanistan we russians lost militarily and politically the mujahideen are smarter than the nva and vc
@dimitboris Of course we didnt lose more but the fact remains that throughout history americans hate seeing thousands of body bags coming from war and so they protested and after controversial photos of the Tet Offensive were revealed the public went crazy. We did lose militarily. Our strategic objective was to protect South Vietnam. We Failed. Because of a loss of support we had to leave and because of that Vietnam is communist today.
@BigMatt5290 but in tet you won the nva and vc really failed you didnt lose vietnam militarily le duc tho and your henry kessinger signed the paris peace treaty after that its over so you didnt lose the south vietnamese did
@BigMatt5290 but you did not lose in vietnam militarily while you were there the nva kept failing of capturing saigon after your costly but successful operation linebacker ii the north vietnamese sent le duc tho to the paris peace treaty to sign the peace treaty with your henry kessinger after that hostilities between you and north vietnam is overin 1967 the nva was losing that is why they launched tet as their last hope of victory however your army crushed it
@BigMatt5290 and after tet the nva and vc were weakening they werent able to launch another BIG offensive until 1982 easter offensive but again your air force halted their advance. and your air force destroyed many of their tanks back at 1967 the nva suffered hundreds of thousands of soldiers dead
we didn't get our ass kinked in vietnam 1 we learned alot about insurgent fighting over there and we would've won if the dumbass hippies would have kept their asses off drugs and kept their mouths shut!
The whoop thing is just the retreating blade. We were all just infantry,,we all just had gun fights. And in Vietnam, I can assure that my platoon will kill all of you.
huey, the unforgetable sound of its rotor blades and its inmense utility in war makes this helicopter a God in its specie.(now the blackhawk is trying to get its position)
The current powerplant for the Bell UH1 Huey are two Pratt and Whitney T400s rated at 1800 shaft. They haven't had the single engine since the 70's, when the Uh1h and F's were in service...
If you had bothered to check Bell Textron's own website you would know that they still do produce a single engine Huey powered by a Honeywell T53-L-703 engine.
I really exept that best chopper is sikorsky...same crap and different wings.Only one kamov ka-50 or in instruction ka-52 will toast you hamburgers...we just trained whit navyseals on finland...shut up. you ain´t world police anymore...punch of pussies.
Again as the US Army Heli pilots will tell you, when the last UH 60 Blackhawk is retired to the Boneyard, a Huey will come to pick them up and take'em home....As always..
I have seen a post that said with out the Cobra the LOACH would have never made it...consider the Cav White teams in Viet Nam...2 Loaches..but I will admit, having the High Bird above was a great feeling, and them Boys were VERY GOOD!!
Whoah.. Bill Murray who is interviewed in this piece was my next door neighbor when I was a kid near Ft. Rucker. My father flew hueys for years and years in Viet Nam and at Ft.Rucker. He misses them. So do I. It was cool to be a kid whose father flies around in circles over your house to impress you despite the *rules.*
Might not be showy, puterized an all that, but it was and is the best airframe ever made!
this not the C-130 is the true iron bird! baby.
The US Gen's did this Chopper a disservice by placeing the Blackhawk upfront! if your tired of em give em to me! really, i love em put one in my back yard I wax it everyday!
I was in Logar province Afghanistan when I heard that distinctive WOP WOP WOP of the huey...it was a two helicopter run from the Italian Marine Corp to a prt meeting. Damn it was great to see those 2 birds. Had to tell some younger guys what the hell they were...intel guys still use em as well!
The Lynx is a very fine machine, but in the real world has very little, or next to none, combat time...the exposure in combat of the Uh-1 series is beyond reproach...agree? Say hundreds of thousands combat missions?...The quality of the Huey may have been considered in the Lynx profile, but with advanced tech and info,thanx to the Huey...Shoot down exposure equals combat time...the Lynx has none...
I wasn't comparing it to the Lynx, just wondering if it was molded after the Huey. The Lynx had tons of experience in the Gulf war though. What I'm saying is the Huey didn't revolutionize anything or do anything outside the box. Was it fast for it's time? Did it provide better protection than others at the time? Military Channel doesn't account for lots of things
The Huey was the first military Helo with a gas turbine engine, and from there on it, the Huey, demonstrated a versatility that was par excellence for the time....Troop carriers, Medevac, Gunship, Spy gear, Smoke machine, mesquito duster, Sling loads, flare ship...the Huey was revolutionary as It, on its own, brought the reality of an effectual military helicopter in combat conditions..sent notice of demise to the recip's...H34,OH13,OH23, H21, and the Mojave...
if you have never flown or been in you dont say its the best, because its not i work with these things and yes they are neat but nothing compared to the uh-60... dont be lame
IT is the BEST...and always will be(Xcept the OH6:)..The Huey had a rep in Viet Nam for forgivin the hurt and a heavy handed pilot...choppen tree branches to get in the hover hole...Been there done that in Cambode..In flight school, Rucker, flew the A model with L-7 engines..1959 Model..S60..Strong Bird, and in capable hands a fine machine..never flown one but did the Huey thing in Nam,and OH6s.CivvyCapt212s,412sS76,Pumas and the S92.From SAR to fire fighting,nights offshoreIFR..Etc.
Look into the U.S. Army Warrent Officer program. It will require you to be enlisted first(no more high school to flight school), so pick a MOS in the 15 series to get yourself used to aviation. I am an active duty UH-60/UH-1 crewchief (15T/15M MOS)
I dunno. So many of them in Vietnam... must be sort of useless. How didn't US control the air space and smash Vietcong to pieces with so many of them?

@BigMatt5290 and after tet the nva and vc were weakening they werent able to launch another BIG offensive until 1982 easter offensive but again your air force halted their advance. and your air force destroyed many of their tanks back at 1967 the nva suffered hundreds of thousands of soldiers dead

The current powerplant for the Bell UH1 Huey are two Pratt and Whitney T400s rated at 1800 shaft. They haven't had the single engine since the 70's, when the Uh1h and F's were in service...

If you had bothered to check Bell Textron's own website you would know that they still do produce a single engine Huey powered by a Honeywell T53-L-703 engine.

The Uh-1 Huey is the greatest helicopter of all time, if only for it's iconic values.

stinger missiles blow pretty much any helicopter away. it was just the environment in which they operated in the Mi 24's
MiloBomb123 3 years ago
Why don't they mention the M134s as the primary weapons?
Those are iconic, and were quite common.
Ishatawk 3 years ago 2
the M134s are the 7.62mms. M134s use 7.62s.
SpywareHater 3 years ago 2
It's true the M134 uses 7.62mm rounds but I interpret "7.62mm Machine Gun" as an M60 - which they did use on the Huey.

was the Lynx modeled after the Huey?
also, I can't believe it got to #3 spot, it got shot down way too much
BrnoutJerzey 3 years ago
But the huey inspired the cobra, the cobra inspired the apache, and the apache inspired the commanche. Huey was legendary.
xm177fullauto 3 years ago 3
The Lynx is a very fine machine, but in the real world has very little, or next to none, combat time...the exposure in combat of the Uh-1 series is beyond reproach...agree? Say hundreds of thousands combat missions?...The quality of the Huey may have been considered in the Lynx profile, but with advanced tech and info,thanx to the Huey...Shoot down exposure equals combat time...the Lynx has none...
CavLoh
CavLoh 3 years ago
I wasn't comparing it to the Lynx, just wondering if it was molded after the Huey. The Lynx had tons of experience in the Gulf war though. What I'm saying is the Huey didn't revolutionize anything or do anything outside the box. Was it fast for it's time? Did it provide better protection than others at the time? Military Channel doesn't account for lots of things
BrnoutJerzey 3 years ago
The Huey was the first military Helo with a gas turbine engine, and from there on it, the Huey, demonstrated a versatility that was par excellence for the time....Troop carriers, Medevac, Gunship, Spy gear, Smoke machine, mesquito duster, Sling loads, flare ship...the Huey was revolutionary as It, on its own, brought the reality of an effectual military helicopter in combat conditions..sent notice of demise to the recip's...H34,OH13,OH23, H21, and the Mojave...
Thanx for the post, Brnout...

Look into the U.S. Army Warrent Officer program. It will require you to be enlisted first(no more high school to flight school), so pick a MOS in the 15 series to get yourself used to aviation. I am an active duty UH-60/UH-1 crewchief (15T/15M MOS)
