The only time I ever started one without using the written checklist was when mortars were falling. About 2200 hours between the Huey and Chinook and never made a mistake someone had to pay for with their life.

I'm an ex-Famet. (Fuerzas aeromóviles del ejército de tierra) For me, UH 1H was my favorite one. I LOVE IT. Greetings from Spain

Which one of those switches play Fortunate Son by CCR?

I just started flying the UH-1H in DCS World, Its helpful to see the real world startup procedure. Thanks for the knowledge.

I m 51 and always been fancinated with the huey

1000 hours of CE time. I never got tired of hearing the checklist being read and the shout "clear"!

From Mattel Messerschmidt to Huey to Cobras to Loaches...never saw a checklist in US or Vietnam. Then transitioned to starch wing Cessna and started off with a check list to start, checklist to run up the engine before takeoff and again in the pattern for a landing and shutdown.

Been working in aviation all my life. Note how he touches all the buttons as he does his checks. RULE in aviation whether flying or fixing... always touch when doing final checks... NOT JUST LOOK!

One of these coming to life is just an insane symphony.

Would love to have an updated 3D version of the Huey in DCS

Guy talking, "Did you get all that?" Guy listening, "Huh?"

I never get tired watching startups!

'Chickenhawk' is a great nivel about Vietnam. By the end you feel like you could almost fly a Huey.
