Our dear old Air Force still operate the Huey (UH-1H version) with 14 or so on strength. They are getting replaced in 2 years time by NH-90's but I for one will be very sad to see them go - that sound just goes right through you. I've been fortunate enough to have a few flights in them & even though they are a big bird they are still very manouverable in the right hands.

A Huey is 1:72 has long seemed like a no brainer to me. There have to be at least 4 million schemes (Only a slight exageration.) and almost everyone knows the bird. (Plus, who doesn't have visions of Apocalypse Now and those Air Cav birds taking out that village.)

Oh yeah.... never mind the smell of napalm, the sound of an approaching Huey is sound of victory!!!!!
