I flew in a lot of slicks during my tour as a grunt in Vietnam (67-68). The Army pilots and crews were the best at getting you in and most of all getting you out. Great video. Thank you.

I’ve only just discovered these helicopter reviews. I’m binge watching them because they are so good.

Also big respect to the pilot, he's a cool guy.

Probably one the most informative presentations on the UH-1 I've seen. Very professionally done. I've flown with guys like this pilot. A wealth of knowledge can be learned from them.

I spent 15 years in Search and Rescue in Montana. A helicopter is a Game Changer. Best Wishes! M.H.

I liked the one you did on the Bell 47 (had a go myself once in Florida) but the Huey was just fantastic. You really do have a charmed life, the ex-military pilot really knew his stuff and looked like he'd be an excellent instructor. I love your vids.

To me the most awesome thing about UH1 is the "chopper sound" that I think made all helicopters known as choppers. The sound of UH1 was unmistakable and meant safety and rescue in the warzone. Cool stuff, I will have to find a way to fly one someday.

That beautiful rotor sound! Great video, Nick. Big thumbs up to the Eagle 1 flight and ground crews, volunteers.

No surprise here, another winner. Thanks Nick and Eagle-1 team, Nick keep making aviation videos! Every time I check my subscriptions and see a new one up is a good day.

Love, love, love your channel Nick. What a great place to learn about various aircraft, features, and even helicopter cultures.

That’s one beautiful bird! I first jumped out of the Huey while I was in Korea in 1978. Later I jumped out of many other aircraft such as the chinook and the Black Hawk. But I always loved the UH-1H❤️❤️❤️

I am beyond envious. Thanks for taking the time to record and share this - I know it takes some doing.

I've watched other helicopter videos and I can't get over how much reserve power this helicopter has. Amazing!

Magic work Nick, really enjoyed and appreciate your effort. Many thanks also to the Eagle 1 crew very professional. Great job.

Former-Military pilots always seem to *exude* expertise. Putting aside *how* military's are used, the training seems tip-top. Thanks, Nick. The Huey is the de-facto heli for so many people, including myself. It's nice to see the birds used for less-shooty purposes.

The check liist, the engine start....Really brought back some memories! Old 67V UH-1 Crewchief.

That is probably one of the better , if not the best, no BS, factual and informative accounts on the Bell UH1- helicopter ..... great job!

Thanks Nick, really enjoyed your piece on the UH1 - Huey.

What a great video! Entirely new appreciation for this helicopter, the crew flying it and Nick for making such a great video!

Such a lift see sensible practical content on KZfaq. Thanks for the valuable experience of Capt Al and his team. Really appreciate this video.

Great video, Nick! Been looking forward to this since you announced you were doing a review on the Huey. In 1985, I had the opportunity to fly in a UH-1, around what was then, West Berlin. Got to tag along on a Berlin Wall observation flight out of Tempelhof Airbase. - Marty

I literally know nothing about helicopters of aviation but I love these vids. Thanks for the knowledge Nick!

Many thanks to Nick and the Eagle 1 crew for this wonderful video. Kind regards from Germany :-)

Great video, VERY informative. A big thank you to the Pilot and crew for allowing you share Eagle One with world.

The best helicopter video I’ve ever seen. I’ve been infatuated with helicopters since the 1950 series, “The Whirlybirds” in a Bell 47. 1950 engineers designed these Huey’s, , the SR 71 Blackbird, Bell X1, and rockets that took us to the moon. All with slide rules. The Huey lives on. Eagle 1, 1968, only with 4500 hours, how many people cherish to even have met you, even from afar.

Excellent video. I’m from the uk n ex army. I’ve flew in many military helicopters but always wanted to fly in the Huey. It’s an icon. I saw a few working in Iraq and Afghanistan. Thanks for making this video and please anyone out there consider donating to keep this in the air and hopefully next time fishermen will have hope when they run into trouble in this area.

As a military photographer, I got to fly 4x per day for a year, doing chase of an experimental aircraft and experienced slip landings, autorotations and the pilot pivoting one skid on a fencepost in precisin hover. One day, with a guest plot, I was on board when the pilot had a prang, due to insufficient lift speed (from about 40 ft), resulting in fly-in repair for the aircraft, as the skids were stressed. In another posting, I regularly flew in the base Rescue helicopter (Huey, natch), so the Huey 1H Remains my favourite aircraft of all times, and I stopped counting at 21, one day, as I made a list of what I had flown into so far, either as commercial passenger or crew.

Nick, I subscribe to your channel primarily for the car reviews. I drive an e46 M3 so naturally your F8X M reviews interested me. But your other reviews are pretty good as well. This is the first aircraft review I've watched and I've got to say I learned a lot. I rode in a UH-1 about 21 years ago when I first joined the Army and I distinctly remember the bouncing that you could see in the video are 21 minutes. I know it happens in most airframes, but it made me chuckle a bit. Awesome review. Looks like I'll start watching more than just the car reviews. Great job!

YES some new heli content. Kiwi madness m8.

I flew the UH-1H and C-model guns in Vietnam accruing 1,955 combat flight hours. I was a helicopter mechanic prior to Army flight school. The first thing I would do in your position is have a talk with your maintenance people about that 1 to 1 main rotor vibration you're shaking through at flight idle on the engine. We didn't have a cockpit procedure anywhere near as detailed or complicated as that you just went through. FAA civilian minutia I guess. It's my understanding you don't autorotate all the way to the ground, either. Insane practice from my POV. We were taught to autorotate our helicopters in every conceivable fashion/manner (except upside down) to full ground touchdown. I lost 5 helos in Vietnam combat, successfully autorotating to the ground with no injuries to crew or pax. My Co-pilot asked me one day if "vertical" autorotations were possible? We only discussed theory in flight school. I climbed to 5,000 feet, confirmed hover with all crew members (no pax that flight) - dropped the collective, chopped the throttle and confirmed needles split while we quite safely descended in a 100% flat vertical autorotation. At about 2,000 feet, I pushed the cyclic forward, pulled in collective to match the needles and continued our mission. Unfortunate that as one pilot simply talking to another... you haven't been given the opportunities we had to explore the FULL 100% capabilities of the machines we operated. Have a blessed day. John (Tet 1968) 76 years old and still breathing.

these UH1 's are my favorite helicopter. Love the sound of them.

Nick, I went into the Army and flew that helicopter when I was 19 years old. You can still go into the Army and go to pilot training right out of high school. It was a blast!!

This was really interesting! Tbh, I never watch your helicopter vids, but now i will!

freaking awesome, nick!!! as usual, pristine job!!!!

Awesome, it's always been my dream to fly the Huey!!

It's an honor to see my home state with such a beautiful bird like this.

Great video about an amazing aircraft. I really appreciated all the detail and description. That pilot was awesome too.

You didn't ask the most important question. Where is the radio system to play Ride of Valkyries?

I love that sweet startup sound

Nick, great review, nice to see you're enjoying doing this, big shout out to the police for allowing this to happen. UH-1 a beautiful machine.

I've only discovered your channel today but I'm hooked!Great info,questions&videos;Nice! ;)

The Huey is one of my favorite aircraft!! Love it!! Very comfortable to fly and responsive!!! Wish I could afford one for personal use!! If not for my military service I would have never known the wonder of rotary wing aircraft!!!

Beautiful helicopter, always one of my favorites! Thanks for this great video on this classic of aviation!..

Best one yet Nick! I've flown in the Jet Ranger 206s, AStar 350s, BlackHawks. I would love to fly in a UH-1 Huey. I was a Tactical Flight Officer for a few years...needless to say I love helicopters

Excellent video. Well done. Brought back some old crew chief AH 1G Cobra] memories. for me. Thanks for doing this.

Hi guys!! As a former NCO of the French Air Force, I friendly salute you all around the USA and hope to fly shortly in this marvelous machine. Long live the american-french brotherhood! Friendly yours from Provins, France.

Excellent video, my all time favorite helicopter 👍🏻

Great film. I always wanted to learn to fly one of these. The book Chicken Hawk is an excellent read, covering the Huey in detail during the Vietnam war. Very informative, respect and best wishes to the police flight and maintenance crew, they are very professional. Regards from the U.K. safe flying folks

I'm from Bridgeport but now live in vermont so it was cool to see some of the old airport I used to love going to the airport when I was a kid and used to get flying rides from there in the 70,s So Thanks

Fantastic video Nick!! It's obvious your more comfortable and have more of a structure on your aircraft videos now! Not that they weren't good before but this one is put together so well. Awesome job my friend!!

Great video, love the helli ones. you're so lucky to fly these, please keep the vids coming :)

Nick, you are amazing, have so many influential contacts I presume. Not to mention smart, with great people skills.

Uh 1 a masterpiece in engineering that has stood the test of time great vid on flying this machine nice informed pilot

compliment to the EAGLE 1 crew . . . very pleasant lesson.

Another brilliant review mate, keep them coming

Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to make it.

I was a US Army crew chief in the 1980s most of my time was in Huey's also the beginning of the Blackhawk era I have about maybe 15 hours of actual stick time flying the Huey I always enjoyed it I wish I could have been a pilot but my eyesight didn't really have it for me and any case thank you for this video it brings back a lot of memories

Your videos keep getting better and better.

14:19 The captain was talking about the wire cutting system on the front of the helo, Nick asks "SHOULD WE TRY IT TODAY???" Captain was like "NO", I was literally ROFL my butt off. Nick buddy, you have a sense of human like myself.

Thank you Nick.

Great video, very interesting and well produced. Thanks for the insight into this beautiful machine!

Most Excellent video! 40 minutes well spent! I liked the explanation of how the controls work! I can truly say I learned a lot from this video!! I have always wanted to be a pilot,this bird is certainly exquisite!!! Well done video!!

despite the distorted sound... This is an awesome video, great job!.

Great Respect to the Pilot, Top Guy, value his time and knowledge thank you

Excellent video. And the 60fps are just amazing!

Thanks for this. I'm a 67N from '79-'81 at Ft.Hood, with 3/507 AA. Nuthin but love for the Huey.

Yeah this gentleman here knows everything about this craft and I would be comfortable with him at the helm.. thanks for your service Sir.

I am french and my english is poor, but thanks your for this... The Bell UH1 D, it's my first love helicopter !!😍😍😍

Hi Nick, another amazing heli review... there are 4 fire department water bomber hueys based close to where i live and there was a fire recently close to my house and as im sure you know, feeling the thump from the twin rotors in your chest from the ground is awesome, you can tell there powerful beasts

I wish to fly in a Huey some day. Great review and flight.

Thanks my friend, what a great love for helicopters, I haven't yet flown a real scale. But we do fly the rc version. Thanks 😎

Great video of a truly iconic aircraft

Very nicely done!

Man this is my child hood heli I was raised near to the airport, and it was a daily routine to see this bell. since then I dreamed to fly it. Yet things happened and I couldn't afford to be at flying school. I did chromatographic sciences, but yet I still working on pursuing my dream to become a heli pilot. And I will :)

Awesome video, thank you very much, please keep them coming!

Love your videos. These are just incredible

Very cool video and a great captain. Super as well to hear how the community keeps this going.

I enjoyed this video a lot, keep up the good work, Nick!

Awesome video! You really take the time to explain it all. Superb.

Such a beautiful helicopter.

Great vid Nick, cheers!

3 great things just happened to me... the scene 4 am NZ .. me .. seriously unwell. Immune issues. Awake. Pain killers .. just found this channel on my recommendation feed? now the 3 things 1968 my year of birth .. this is my fav helicopter of all time.. watched it fly over west Auckland as a child ( Whenuapai).. 3 /Nick is a kiwi? That accent is kiwi I’m sure.... all my life I’ve dreamed of going for a ride on one of these while listening to paint it black ... new subscriber now..

Love the helo vids! Takes me back to my 6 hrs in a Bell 47. Those two big blades are a much nicer ride than an R22.

Far out may that was crazy great. Way kool man Your best ever!

Well done gentlemen!

Great video really enjoyed this ,pilot explaining what he is doing and why .. beautiful aircraft.

That was SO damn cool to get to see. Thanks mate! Big thumbs up for this one. :o)

Fantastic video. So informative.

Thank you for making this informative video.

AWESOME Loved it!

The iconic "Huey". There is nothing like the sound of that beautiful machine. I can only imagine how great it sounded to a wounded soldier waiting for a medevac.

This helicopter is obviously very important to you Nick. Congratulations on getting to pilot but also thanks for producing such a high quality story for us to enjoy. Such a great community endeavor for your local area. Fantastic to watch and learn. Keep up the good work. Oh, the pilot only just came along with your on the 'visiting an old girlfriend comment'. Luckily it was more tame than your usual similes.

Hey Nick, maybe you can make a video on how you got into flying. Was it something you always wanted to do, how long did it take to get your pilot's license, etc...

Great Job, Beautiful bird Thank You Capt. Corey Wade USCG Merchant Marine

your r44 review earned yourself a subscriber

what I enjoyed most was the over the shoulder camera angle which gave an unobstructed view of the in-flight controls on take off and landing.

This was a really cool video, Great Job!

I was in a unit, some soldiers, were trained, as helicopter maintenance and pilots, combined together, most of them were w-4, w-3 w-2 w1 in rank. In the U.S. ARMY

Great video. Very informative. Thank you

Another great vid! Thanks!
