Army Retires Legendary UH-1 Huey Helo
It starts as a faint whisper in the calm of the sea. Gaining speed, it rumbles low across the swells like the beating of an ogre’s heart before it materializes into one of the most distinct and recognizable sounds in modern warfare – the rotor beat of the UH-1N Huey, the Marine Corps’ all-purpose aircraft.
Cannot believe that the Huey is being retired. Figured I'd share this considering I know at least a few are military here. I know my father-in-law who pasted a year ago tomorrow would've been talking about this. He was a USMC Heli for many, many years and still flew helis up until 2009.
Cheers,
Alex
