http://www.americanhuey369.com , that's why!

The dates are set, August 7 and 8, 2010 for a chance to fly in a Dustoff Huey one more time!! Former 237th pilots will be at the controls and ANYONE who wants a ride can climb in the back. Yes, 237th pilots at the controls!! Crew, ground personel, Moms, Dads, kids and grandchildren can all fly with us at the controls! Crew chiefs and medics? We'll put pads on the floor behind the armored seats for you one more time...except hopefully this time, no one will be shooting at us!

369 is a former Dustoff bird from the 498th Dustoff and flew for about 900 hours in country. Those 237th members that flew "borrowed" aircraft from the 498th at Khe Sahn may have flown her! Although the records are incomplete, because she was assigned to the 498th and because they loaned aircraft to the 237th and 571st during Lam Son 719, it may very well have flown there. Gentlemen, now is your opportunity to fly a Huey one more time!

http://www.AmericanHuey369.com is a not for profit organization started by a former CH-53 Marine pilot, John Walker. He and his brother decided it would be neat to own a Huey, and after purchasing it, realized it was very restorable and hence, 369 lives again. Further, in obtaining parts for 369, they found another restorable Huey , 803, and they are in the process of restoring IT! So 2 flyable Hueys may be available for our 2010 reunion! 369 is fully certified by the FAA to give flights...a donation of 100 bucks is required from each person flying, even the pilots, but it also gives you a membership in the organization for one year to help keep 369 flying.  (This paragraph updated October, 2008 )

Ironically, 803 was also a Dustoff Bird and then later a slick, Warrior 11 in VN, so both Hueys are war veterans, too, just like us. 803 is being restored to it's Warrior heritage.

Come join the fun of flying a Huey again, just like before. Mark your calendars NOW! August 7 & 8, 2010, Saturday and Sunday. Don't have your 2010 calendar yet? No problem...just mark it on the last date of your 2008 calendar and then do the same thing when you get your 09 calendar...no problem! The initial plan is a hotel near the airport, a bus trip to the site, picnic type eatin' (BBQ?) and an LZ suite at the Hotel. Fly Saturday and Hotel on Sunday or a rain date of Hotel Saturday and fly Sunday,

"Commin' hot...!"

"Clear left, Sir"

"Clear right"

"Commin' up!"

How long has it been since your heard THAT in your headset???]]> Wed, 23 Apr 2008 06:01:31 Phil Marshall 711
