HUEY START

[LAZARSHOW]

I knew someone took my toaster!

[dtiydr]

Whats the normal rpm on main rotor at lift?

[Monkmaster1969]

@dtiydr 294 to 324 Max rotor RPM is 339. Flew Hueys from 68-73 and was an Instructor Pilot as well.

[dtiydr]

@Monkmaster1969 Interesting to hear and tnx for the info!

[islandflight]

Absolutely beautiful! I flew these for a few years in the Jamaica Defence Force Air Wing. My absolute favourite helicopter, and I've flown quite a few types. Nothing compares to the sound and feel of a Huey.

[hillberg100]

late light off, Did any fuel control/ fuel system work?

[Fredi81]

It´s a mobile phone vid, isn´t it?

So sad... with a digital cam it would be soooooo much better. And longer...

Try again with a good cam and you´ll get 5 stars.

Greetings from cologne, germany, Fred

[marcebenz]

Nice, but, the main rotor blades should be 90 degrees before the start up. Greettings from Argentina!!!

[janernn]

Chills!

[1234dalton1]

who needs Viagra.

[CPfromGermany]

@1BustedMyth: A Huey is a living thing;-)

[IRIQUOIS227]

human kind has never known a better swing-wing aircraft. 

[1BustedMyth]

Ah ya sexy old green beast !

Is it legal to marry a machine? is a Huey a machine or a person? ;)

[KingOfTheClutch]

These things are so awesome, they shake my house as they pass over it.

[vetrix]

uh 60s are nice but gta needs HUEY UH1!!!!!

[mrsmelzbad]

wop wop wop....love it

[ColonelHogan9162]

@mrsmelzbad Yes, it's ultrasonic noise from the peaks of the long rotorblades.

I like this sound too.Distinctive.

When you hear this sound, you know immediately - It's a Huey

[fernfeyes]

Did you know that the big nut that holds the main rotor to the transmission is called the "Jesus" nut?.. athiests have no name for it.

[standhd]

I watched a show on one if the cable channels don't remember witch one but it did a comparison of the worlds geatest helis and the Huey won! A great chopper!

[pappydanny53]

look out charlie here i come...brings back some great memories

[Sarge1966]

TheCottonTop......yeah I know the snake is built on the Huey platform. I was expressing my fondness of the aircraft by saying nothing sounds like a Huey.

However you disagreed, and said the snake sounds ALMOST like a huey. To be technical saying it ALMOST sounds like a Huey would support my phrase that nothing sounds like a Huey.

Or maybe just take people's comments with a grain of salt and not be Mr. Correction

[Kopihucky]

who says? I know atleast a dozen choppers that sound just like a huey.. but I just can't think of any right now :P

[jetscan2nl]

@Kopihucky It's been 5 months ago. Name one.

[Kopihucky]

@jetscan2nl HaHa and 5 months later still no detection of sarcasm on your part.

[Sarge1966]

Nothing...NOTHING sounds like a Huey

[TheCottonTop]

Sarge.. I must diagree a Super Cobra sounds almost Identical. After all The Cobra was built on the Huey platform and with the Huey drive compoinents.

[westcountrychoppers]

@Sarge1966 My Chopper sounds like Huey

[esqueue]

Smile to my face. Wish the vid was a little longer.

[kiwicannon]

Yeah baby listen to that badboy!! viet fuckn nam baby yyeeehaaa

[blueflame53]

I recently went to the Dayton Vectren Airshow(drove 200 mi to get there) and they were giving Huey rides there. I heard that sound all day........and I still love it..lol

[SIMM0NS77]

How can something this simple give me chills?

It's fucking awesome, that's how.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@SIMM0NS77 no doubt. i showed this to my father a nam vet. saw the smile on his face. said i know that sound well. i want this as an alarm clock sound. around 120 140 decibels or so

[onblock7]

@SIMM0NS77 Yes, that thing is a flat out legend and it still gives me chills when I see one.

[blueflame53]

ok..other then a p-51 starting .....and a woman having an orgasm thats quite possibly the greatest sound in the world.....lol

[motokid032]

You got it.

[tallyfla58]

Or a c5galaxy

[blueflame53]
