I flew with the 129th in Vietnam from Feb 72 to
Oct 72. The first 4 months I was in the
maintenance platoon and the second four month I
was in a lift platoon that supported the ROK
troops.
I took part in restoring a
non-flyable Huey for display at the Vietnam
Veterans Memorial, Museum and Education Center in
Holmdel, NJ.We worked every Monday for 15 months
to restore it. It was 30 vets and the daughter of
one of the vets that did all the painting of the
bird. |

Awesome to see the Huey at Skylive. I have been
wanting to see one up close for years (huge
Apocolypse Now fan). We were lucky enough to see
and hear it arrive as we were waiting in
traffic. The sound of it is one of the best sounds
I've heard. Had a great chat with one of the staff
(dressed as american soldier) very friendly and
knowledgeable. Hopefully will be visiting at your
base.Thanks. |

Absolutely brilliant effort to bring to the UK and
fly these icons of the Vietnam conflict.
I wish you every success for the future and hope
to see these magnificent warbirds again soon.
Thank you for keeping history alive and I
can't wait to see the trio of types. |

Great day at the Hangar Open Day today, 29th
October. Shame about the weather, but what can you
do! At least we still got to see the helicopters
fly, eventually, quite laa te in the day due
to the weather. Great too, to meet up with a
couple of old friends Mark and Judith, hadn't seen
them in years, great to catch up! |

I'm a massive fan of the Huey and its history.
Your site is now on my favourites list. Keep up
the good work guys, your efforts are greatly
appreciated. |

Thanks for a great flyby and display at the
Airwaves air show in Portrush, 2016. I was
amazed that here in Portrush, I would find a Huey
and a loach. Having been a Vietnam Dustoff
pilot, I can attest to the capability and
survivability of the Huey. It is and was an
awesome machine. Like an old ad says, ' it takes
a licking and keeps on ticking.' The Huey saved,
not only my life, but the lives of others in very
trying conditions. Many thanks to the owner and
the guys who presented the Huey and loach at
Portrush. Great job! |

Dear Neil, Thank you so much for the
personal tour of Huey. It truly made the visit to
the Air Show at East Lothian memorable and extra
special. You took some great photos!
Many thanks and kind regards, Carolyn |
