UH1H (V) Huey. I crewed one for 13 years in the National Guard. It's really a living legacy of aviation.

I could never just pick one.
I was watching a video about the P38. On long range missions in the Pacific the planes were returning with empty fuel tanks. A couple pilots crashed trying to land when the engines stopped. Charles Lindbergh, the first pilot to cross the Atlantic, was sent as an advisor. He came up with an idea to correct the fuel usage and went on a mission when the pilots didn't believe him. The aircraft began returning with fuel to spare. With the tail connecting the twin booms, a pilot couldn't just bail out without getting cut in two. The had to wing walk past the engines before jumping. |

View Quote uhhh, can you elaborate on the wing walking part? is that after they ditched and they jumped in the water/raft? head first over the side of cockpit or inverted/drop free or high speed vacuum are the ones I've heard of. But my wife's grandpa did the wing walk thing after ditching when running out of fuel... |

My ANG unit flew these before they switched to A-10s. A tweet is about the size of a VW Bug, but with a gatling gun and a whole bunch of hardpoints! |
