Wow. I flew with the Air Cavalry in Vietnam, and I never saw any optics like this on a Huey. Must be a B Model. I was with C/7/17 and H/10, both at the end of the war. We had mostly H Models then. Nice to see this piece in the contest. I have a photo called "Morning Ride" in this contest with a formation of ten of them, taken from the last one.
