| Randy Hughes Augusta, KS | We are restoring 65-9700. Has anyone flown this bird or has any info? It was listed with the USAF on initial inventory but we got it from the Army at Ft. Rucker. We are restoring it to Vietnam era service so any help would be helpful!

| Rick Schloss San Jose, CA | Anyone serve with a Jon S. Glisky or a Jeff Nelson? Both pilots of UH-1 in different variants.
I am writing a book about these two and any military memories would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance 08/05/2006 @ 12:03 [ref: 13811] |
| 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] |
| Bruce K Glenn Billings, MT | History looks back at the UH-1D "Slick" and omits the numerous combat roles we were involved in. My ship, UH-1D, serial number 65-19657 was one of two "slicks" assigned to the main "gun company" of the 25th Infantry, 1966, 1967, 1968, and (?) for I left in 1968 after TET. My ship was a "decoy" for the "guns"....they always flew above me and to the rear.....blacked out....and when I drew fire....the other gunner and I "marked" with our doorguns.....climbed...and the "guns" rolled in. We were also the ship that laid the "smoke screen" to cover retreats of our own people....extraction of the dead and wounded (usually by us, for the LZ was too "hot" for the "Dustoffs"....and we flew "People Sniffer" missions, and "Firefly" missions.......all with the intent of drawing fire...so the "guns" on our tail could locate and "neutralize" the enemy......but then.....we were just a "Slick".......all done in a days work....... 12/10/2002 @ 00:59 [ref: 6202] |
