Hi guys, it's rotor blades, not propellers and got my copilot/pilot chairs mixed up, oh well. Would be great to hear any stories/experiences regarding this aircraft. All the best.

I worked on the UH-1H in Vietnam. The man pointed to the area of the transmission in the aft part of the cabin, and said that is where the engine goes. Wrong. The engine sits above on the enclosed deck and behind the transmission. It would be a Lycoming T53-L14A with 1400 horsepower. The other helicopter is an Enstrom.

The helicopter on top of the bus is an Enstrom F28 Falcon. It has the "smooth" top and the wide air fins below and behind the exhaust port which seems to be covered. The 280FX will have the duel scoop air intakes on top that kind of dome it and they have a longer set of finely spaced air fins on the side

My dad was a Dustoff pilot in Vietnam, 1965 - 66. He rarely spoke about it, but I'll never forget how shaken up he seemed after we went to see "Apocalypse Now" in a theater the first month it came out. He was kind of pinned to his seat, even after the credits ended and the lights came up. Of course, he stoically shook that off and carried on...

I flew them in US Army flight school ('83). Amazing this one still has all the instruments and avionics, although no engine. Cool find!

I met an American Vietnam vet in Thailand back in 2009. It was at the border near Cambodia, he went gambling there, was married to a Thai wife, he lived in Bangkok since the war ended

My father flew these in Vietnam. He has some pretty cool stories about flying in general. We don't discuss the war much though but I don't blame him, I doubt it's something any veteran of that war likes to do. God Bless all who had to fight in that war. So many of us appreciate you.

Best Vietnam combat helicopter book I ever read was "Chickenhawk" by Robert Mason. FLY NAVY!!!

Mate in 1993 whilst I was making a documentary film in Vietnam I was offered a crashed Huey with no engine for $5,000. I seriously considered it to try to ship it back to UK but money was too tight then so didn't take the bargain. Great vlog again.

I flew in these on several different occasions while in Viet Nam as a grunt in the USMC 1968 -1972. The distinct pop pop pop sound of the rotors was a welcome sound since it meant help was coming or we were getting the hell outta dodge. Yup, I was boocoo dinky dau back in those days as the Vietnamese use to say.

I used to work on the UH-1N and UH-1Y back in the Marine Corp days. It was very cool. My OIC gave me a ride once in Iraq. Such a blast.

The Tank and Chinook shown at 2:34 are actually in the Vietnam Military Museum in Saigon (Ho Chi Min City). I have walked around them both.

spent many happy hours in these at 5sqn , happy days. did not know back then how i would miss them now.

I’ve always wanted to fly a Helicopter! The coolest machine ever invented!
