G'day everyone, well with my passion for the Huey growing everyday, i was wondering, what is everyone elses Favourite Helo's?
Mine would have to be the hueys, but moreso the UH-1H huey gunship!!! wouldnt have wanted to be a gook when one of them was coming at ya!
Cheers

That would be the AH-64 Apache and the cancelled RAH-66 Comanche. They both pack a punch.

My favourite "chopper" is a "Harley Davidson" with flames on fuel tank :-) :-)

Seriously, i like UH-1D

For a good old workhorse i would have to go for the Westland Wessex. It's only recently been retired from service!!

Too many to choose from..

Former Warsaw Pact.. Hind! hands down! Later versions E-F
close runners up Ka52, KA50 and Mi-28

Vietnam Era Nato
OH-6A
Close runner up Huey slick and early Cobra (pre-TOW)

Modern Nato

Longbow Apache..
close runner up MH-6J little bird and DAP Blackhawk

next....

Mike

always UH-1 as chopper and m113 as tracks :-)

Definately the AH-6J Little Bird.
Kyle

Hmmmm, MH-53 Pave Hawk, No question.

Hind and AH-1W are right up there as well, along with the MH-60G.

The UH-1H for me. Worked on them for a few years.

It's got to be the AH-64. After watching them in action in Iraq there is no doubt in my mind it is the most effective helicopter flying and probably in the history of military helicopters.

UH-1D/H for me... I'll miss them (H) when they are all gone...

Howdy fella's,

Hmmm, I'm both surprised, and happy to see the LOACH mentioned a couple of times. I was lucky enough to fly a version of the OH-6 and all I can say is it's a bloody Ferrari!! You just think left, and whoosh! it's gone. She's a bit squirrally at first touch, but once you get the hang of the 'tactile' response's.......she's an absolute dream!!

Tread.

Oh, and not to seem too OPFOR here, but, those Russian helo's are wild! Their configurations have GOT to be the most unique ever!

Apache here... What about those choppers the used on the TV show MASH..What were they called?

Bell 47

Well, with all due respect (And there IS respect), my favorite chopper would definetly be the UH-60 Black-Hawk.


btw, in Israel we call it "Owl".

I'd like to say MH53.

Has got to be the UH-1 Huey. It was the helicopter that established airmobility as a workable option. Also, I have a lot of miles riding in the back en route to some small LZ. I can still pick out the sound of the UH-1 long before I ever see it.

lynx,
worlds fastest helo can can do loop the loops and fly near vertical

Hands down the AH-64 Apache. The meanest muther on the battlefield.

Ah yes... the OH-13... my first ride...

Hi All
My fave Chopper has got to be the WAH64D Longbow Apache
Pete

Mine would be the OH-6 Loach or it's modern day counterpart the Little Bird.

My favorite chopper is the Ka-50

Bah, the AH-1G Cobra rules all.

Is that the 'stretched' version of the Cobra on your banner Whiskey?

I like that too. Ain't no chopper sexier than that one! Not to mention it's contribution to aviation history.
