I have met and come to know the "HUEY" in many forms and venues. I have parachuted and rappelled from the Huey. I have ridden one into a forbidden country in the dead of night and when I was out and it departed, the sound of its rotors fading in the distance was the most lonely sound in the world. But when it returned from my extraction (twenty some days later) it was the most welcome sound I ever heard. I have ridden it into hot LZs and have been extracted from even hotter LZs on that magnificent bird. I have been med-evaced on it and even taken joy-rides on it. I have crashed in one (during an extraction from a very hot LZ) and have the bracelet made from the drive chain of the tail rotor to prove it. ( It is given in a ceremony to those who survive helicopter crashes) I have been extracted from tree tops underneath it--that is truly a thrill, hanging in a harness while it fly away in the confusion and gunfire below. I have shared an adult beverage or two with its crew members after missions and I was always quick to concede that their balls were much bigger and brassier than my own.
I could go on and on but you get the message, I am sure.
