| Donnie , CA | Are you sure about the maximum altitude? From Lemoore, the helo landed on the top of Mt. Whitney. I believe the max altitude is over 15K. You may want to check 08/31/2007 @ 10:42 [ref: 17800] |

| justin sheehan cork ireland, OTH | the max speed on the hh-1n huey is wrong. its 135 knots. and a cruise of 128 knots. these choppers have as much get up and go a blackhawk . and i think most people or even chopper pilots would agree. 07/20/2007 @ 14:05 [ref: 17197] |
