Thank You.The front seat weapons operator of that bird lives a mile from me.My Helo friend knows him.His devorced wife who lives in another state has some photos of that bird which is now hard to get.
I just might have to get this one and build a slick.
My favorite seat was back in the corner next to the transmission. For no real reason sitting all tucked up there made me feel safe.
Wow! Must have been scary to sit and fly a strange machine.

Not scary at all. Super-fun is more like it!! I love flying in helos! The best is sitting in the door w/your feet hanging out over the edge into nothingness.

With many, many hours in the UH-1 family as a CE and TI, I totally agree with HeavyArty and others on the fun side. Most units like the CE on the left side because that's the side the tail rotor is on for clearing and while on the ground protecting individuals from walking into it. While in combat I sat in the L/H gunner's well and normal flights on the L/H outside seat of row 2 (the five seater in front of the transmission). The UH-1 was a very forgiving aircraft; an old saying of "I can get her home with safety wire and 100 miles an hour tape" was not far from the truth.
Keep em flying
