WANT!

Now, now,,,, watch with the general comments. Some unknowing person will think that's true!!!

I've flown over 100 flights in a Blackhawk with never a glitch, all over Iraq and Afghanistan. I don't have quite the deep dedication and love as I have for the Huey. It hauled my butt out of many a bad spot. :thumbsup:

I've flown in many a Huey and there is no other machine with that distinctive sound you know it's coming WAY before you see it ! WHUPWHUPWHUPWHUPWHUPWHUPWHUPWHUPWHUPWHUP

Just so the Blackhawk boys don't feel left out.

I saw those Hughes 500's leading the way in the first picture , Now that's a perfect personal helo in my book ! paint one John Deere green and that would be the one I WANT !

I've never tried to do this but here we go. This is a video I shot while flying in a Blackhawk for those that have never flown in a tactical helicopter. Hope it works. Click on the photo, takes a minute to load.

You guys are all talking about those big machines. All my experience was with Bell 47s.:laughing:

 

[ovrszd]

Yeah Bird, those little machines scare the pants off me. Kinda like ultra light planes, no place for me in one!!!

Here's another Blackhawk video. Flying out of Mosul Iraq toward Tikrit Iraq. This one is longer so will load slower. Again, click on the photo to start video. Enjoy.
