How to really fly the Huey..

Haha,  I ended up trying to land a Seahawk on some telegraph wires which bounced me up in the air again and I then subsequantly ended up landing on a tree and exploding.  My son later brushed up against our Chinooks rotors in a humvee and it exploded.  Two wrecked choppers in a couple of hours... not one of our best sessions :D .

 

On a side note... if anyone wants to get a feel for flying a Huey then checkout the book Chickenhawk. It is written by a Huey pilot who went on to be part of the 1st Air Cav during Vietnam and includes his training at flight school with quite a lot of detail on how to fly helicopters.  Later on it goes on to describe using the rotor to cut small trees and bamboo in order to land is very small clearings.  Great book although it has a rather depressing ending.  Have read it 4 or 5 times myself and feel like picking it up for another read now ;) .
