Last flight in a AH-1F was the week after 9/11. Many and I mean many fond memories of flying Cobras on active duty and in the guard. Some sad too; Jeff and Casey you guys are not forgotten in my heart and mind. I’ll see one day again.

I'd give them $1000 if they would let me hover right outside my old bosses window and let me move the guns.

My son and I took their Huey Ride in Brunswick, GA. Having been a Huey Crew Chief it was great to be able to take that ride with my son. Sit on the side facing out if you get the chance.

I flew the F model in Palm Springs a couple of years ago. Traded a chance to fly that with a chance for the pilots to fly an airship.

I see he had to sign a disclaimer before the flight,just in case he didn't walk away afterwards!

I have had several flights in a CH47 Chinook and it did not cost me a penny, I was wearing green clothes then ;-))

I like seeing the part starting from 3:09. Like a view of ground crew personnel in Vietnam.

Looks like fun times. My google skills aren't helping so I'll ask here. The Hueys have a smaller bar perpendicular to the main rotor blades which the Cobra does not. What does that bar do?

Should have handed Owen the video camera. It would have made a nice video.

Well actually, we didn't have a video camera, I shot this with my DSLR, and Owen wanted to take photos during the flight. We did not know about this before we went to the show, if we had, and had known Owen would do it, I would have rigged him up with a GoPro for the flight.

Well, I'm not any better. I used to have to take test flights when we replaced the engines in these Cobras back when I was in Viet Nam. Not once did I take along a recorder to take some video of the flight. Always had my lap full with a vibration meter and harnesses wrapped all over. Still have some nice memories of the flights. They are quite the machine.
