| David Calhoun Weatherford, TX | I have in my back yard a UH-1D Huey, Tail# 66-00758. It was with the 190th Assault Unit in Viet nam. 68-69. It went down once in a LZ under mortar and small arms fire. carrying 600 pounds of ammo for resupply and was to pick up casualties. It was able to fly itself out to a safe area. I have the history on the bird until 1975. It is just a static display and I want to sell her. Thanks, David 07/19/2006 @ 15:44 [ref: 13761] |
| Mark Eltzroth Corona, CA | I crewed 64-59792 For over two year with the 173rd Avn. (1972-74) She was a good ship, No chrome, But she always got me home.
I wonder what ever happened to her. I am sure by now she has been recycled into a bunch of beer cans. I hope so. What a fitting death for such a wonderful old Lady. 08/18/2005 @ 22:34 [ref: 11023] |
