hueytaxi Posted October 27, 2013 Share #53 Posted October 27, 2013 I loved the H Model hueys. Now if we had the C Model turbine when I flew the OH-58A's, I could have been more effective. When my colonel learned there was a mini gun kit available he wanted to mount one. He was quite disappointed to learn that with him, his CSM, extra radios, etc., we would not have enough power to fly. (Actually I knew we would fly more convoy cover and he would want to be on the gun. I found with the gun mounted, it was advantageous to fly and fire. A copilot firing would catch you unaware and the yaw induced insured missing your target. (That lesson was from gunnery training, we never mounted a gun in RVN.

Combat Diver Posted October 27, 2013 Share #54 Posted October 27, 2013 I've got a sweet spot for the MH-60 and MH-47s, did lots of missions with them over the decades. Love the older versions of the CH-47 as they can land in the water and I can drive my zodiac rubber boat right into it. CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
