We all have them, no matter what branch.

Personally, I love the Warthog. My dad's is the C-130 (in all its variations). So, let's hear it. What is your favorite flying machine? (You are not allowed to answer SFC Mark Merino, we already know your's ...lol!!!!)

As medic, I wholeheartedly agree with 1LT Sandy Annala. Second to the Huey is a m113

SSgt (Join to see). It was also very reassuring to see so many flying in combat groups.
See particularly the heroism of Dustoff Pilot Michael Novosel at 38:30 minutes below:

We lost way too many of these brave young Dustoff Pilots and Crews.
Warmest Regards, Sandy

Jumped a Huey a number of times, 1LT Sandy Annala! Always a fun and easy jump!

We used Hueys Painted RED with White US Navy on the sides in Antarctica. They were used for local ops to take Scientific parties to and from base camps and sometimes upon return to McMurdo, we could catch a hop back to the base from the Ice Runway about 2 hours away by surface transportation.

I always liked it when the pilot or copilot would spot a pod of Killer Whales and drop to the deck in a couple of seconds, trying to upset the pax, never bothered me, but did some.

If I get back in, my goal is to be on board these birds when they go out on mission from Rosecrans Air Nat'l Guard Base as a member of the Phoenix Ravens!
