There's no maybe on that sound. You can argue the looks, but nothing sounds better than the Huey.

Lol, enjoy your spics and transexuals

of all the dumb things I see on 4chan, this constantly triggers me
I enjoyed flying in the UH1H, rappelling and parachuting out of them. I also enjoyed the UH60. The only difference was a bit more room while sitting in the door for air assaults and jumps.
>>29386225
thats whats ya get
>>29387060
absolutely HARAM
>>29387043
>Door closed
>That means no troops on board
>Which means shitty mission
>Thanks anyway
>This isn't SOAR
Implying there is anything sexier than the original Attack heli
>>29386374
I live near the base where the Division Luftbewegliche Operationen is stationed, i got to hear the wob wob wob wob wob so fucking often, i love that sound, you hear that distinct noise miles away
>>29387086
>Thinks doors closed means no troops
>Implying any actual air assault is a shitty mission
>Implying training isn't a thing
>Implying 160th isn't full of a bunch of gaping, prolapsed, assholes
Nigga U dum.
>>29387253
Also
>Implying you'll ever fly in a blackhawk
>>29387253
Dumb dick, if the doors are closed, there is no one parachuting out. There is no covert ops LRS, Ranger or Special Forces mission
If you're not on an airborne op, you're a fucking pogue doing pogue training bullshit. If you were training to deploy special operations personnel, the doors would be open and you would have airborne joes standing by.
>>29387053
Double barreled...sexy is fuck!
>>29387293
Normal Assault units do way more with special forces than 160th.
>Implying aircrew are pogues
>>29387267
I've always wondered, are the compasses used in the cockpit in milliradiants or degrees? Is it a grid compass or magnetic and does it get re-calibrated when the airframe moves base or gets deployed?
>>29387320
Its degrees, magnetic and every (I want to say) year it gets tested and there is a slip of paper that says what the compass reads vs what it actually is.
>>29387315
Not so.
Are you just making shit up in order to argue?
>>29387335
what happened here, slippery hands or cartridge bombardment
>>29387346
No, 160th are a bunch of prima donnas. They require 72hr notice for a mission, if anything changes the mission gets scrapped.
Normal line units go at the drop of a hat and get the mission done no questions asked.
I WANTED to go to taskforce, then I learned how big of faggots they are.
>>29387355
Ammo can didn't have a bungee cord securing it when the 240 got stowed.
>>29387374
Well, we used the fuck out of the Knight Stalkers and they always kicked ass. I have nothing negative to say about them. (3/75)
>>29387335
Cheers, pal. Sounds pretty standard.
>>29387384
I have no doubts that they're good at what they do... when they do it. I also know a bunch of stories of crewchiefs going to task force and snubbing their old friends and acting like they don't exist. Its some highschool clique bullshit.
Don't get me wrong though, there are some people in 160th who are total bros. They usually end up back in line units though.
>>29387391
Yeah, not everything on the helo is rocket surgery. They're pretty easy to maintain, just tedious and time-consuming. Your only real reward for finishing up maintenance for the day is more of the same tomorrow. At least I get a break and fly at least once a week.
>>29387411
Be us apart, it is nice to shit talk with an actual .mil person.
>>29387418
Indeed
>>29386225
I fucking love the Huey, the local air force flew a squadron of them EVERY afternoon for a whole decade over my city. It was Vietnam after school.

It's like you don't even love sexy blade tips.
It's a great combination of load capacity and operational flexibility. It's probably the closest the UK has to the blackhawk.
>>29389192
What's the point of this, besides carrying heavy shit ? It would get shredded by small arms fire, or MANPADS. It's jst really cute big girl. That's all

>What's the point of this, besides carrying heavy shit ? It would get shredded by small arms fire, or MANPADS.
You just described every utility helicopter on the planet numbnuts
>>29389217
>whats the point of this
It fills the exact same role as the Huey or Blackhawk but is a more advanced, more capable, and reportedly more fun to fly airframe.
>>29389217
>What's the point of this, besides carrying heavy shit ?
Sorry, are you familiar with helicopters?
>>29389254
>>29389253
>>29389235
It seems way larger and harder to handle, along with presenting a large target for the enemy to shoot at, along with being slower.
>>29387384

>>29387315
You are certainly a pogue you faggot, don't try to act all hard on the internet because you're a crewchief.
Redpill me on the NH90.
>>29389469
Euro cucks thought they could do better and more modern take on medium utility helo than we have, and they did. Except it has had some massive teething issues which they been sloooowly figured out
>>29389543
>Except it has had some massive teething issues which they been sloooowly figured out
In their defence, isn't this basically every modern military hardware project?

What about the plastic helicopter ?
>tfw guy at work has the UH-1 rotor chop as his ringtone
I'm just waiting for a customer to PTSD the fuck out and cause a giant scene
>>29389436
And what do you do?
>>29389348
An helicopters' speed has no relation to it's size. In fact, the larger the chopper, the faster and more easy to fly it is.
This chopper is closer to the Cougar or superPuma than Blackhawk though.
>>29390698
>In fact, the larger the chopper, the faster and more easy to fly it is.
>>29390698
I'd say its the mid-point between Chinook and Stallion.

>>29387320
the mag compass is in degrees and is calibrated for deviation which is magnetic interference from stuff in the aircraft. It is calibrated everytime some piece of electronics is changed for something different. It could go unchanged for years and years.
Changing areas of operation is corrected for by correcting your flight planning for magnetic variation which is the degrees difference between true north and magnetic north for the area in which you are flying.
Magnetic deviation may be different from craft to craft but the variation is the same for all in any given area.

I work on the things and we do a "compass swing" once a year.
H-19 Chickasaw has always been my favorite helicopter. I can't help it, it looks like a derpy, adorable little bug.
