Would a UH-1C have the lift capacity to carry a full crew+5 soldiers? I recall reading in a book about the LRRP's in Vietnam that in some cases Huey Gunships were used to extract soldiers. Is this possibe? I wanted to use Academy's UH-1C, with Masterbox's "Head for the Huey" kit. Thanks

The C would be close to max weight, but should be able to carry 5 troopers along with its crew, weapons, and ammo load.
